In a concave mirror, when the object is at the centre of curvature, the image is formed:
Correct answer: C. At center of curvature
- A. At focus
- B. Between focus and center
- C. At center of curvature
- D. Behind the mirror
Explanation
For concave mirrors, when the object is at the centre of curvature (C), the image is formed at C - real, inverted, and of the same size.

About Optics
Light is studied through reflection, refraction, dispersion, interference, diffraction and polarization, linking ray behavior with its wave nature. Questions may involve mirrors, lenses, optical instruments, refractive index and image formation, while geometrical optics deals with rays and wave optics explains effects such as interference and diffraction.
