Question
A student has obtained the image of a distant object with a concave mirror to determine its focal length. If he has selected a well-illuminated red building as an object, which of the following correctly describes the features of the image formed?
-
Virtual, inverted and diminished image in red shade
-
Real, erect and diminished image in pink shade
-
Real, inverted and diminished image in red shade
-
Virtual, erect and enlarged image in red shade.
Solution
C.
Real, inverted and diminished image in red shade
The correct option is C.
The object should be taken at infinity in order to measure the focal length of the mirror. Therefore, the image formed by the concave mirror would be real, inverted, diminished and red in shade.
