To determine the approximate focal length of the  given convex lens by focusing on a distant object  (say, a sign board), you try to focus the image of  the object on a screen. The image you obtain on the  screen is always: 

(a) erect and laterally inverted  

(b) erect and diminished  

(c) inverted and diminished  

(d) virtual, inverted and diminished  

 

Answer 

For a concave mirror

  • When the object is at infinity , the image is formed at the focus
  • This image is diminished
  • And it is also inverted
