Verified by Experts

(i) Rules for the ray diagrams
(ii) Observe the position of the object and the type of image formed.
Recall the nature of image formed by different mirrors.
Which mirror is used here-concave mirror or convex mirror?
Draw the ray diagram to obtain the type of image shown in the question. Compare this ray diagram with the given figure and analyze to locate the position of the principal focus.
