Solution and Explanation
When an object is placed between the centre of curvature (C) and the focus (F) of a concave mirror, the image formed has the following characteristics:
- The image is formed beyond the centre of curvature (C).
- The image is real and inverted.
- The image is magnified (larger than the object)
