Question

In a museum, a woman walks towards a large concave mirror. She will see that:

  • (i) her erect image keeps decreasing in size.
  • (ii) her inverted image keeps decreasing in size.
  • (iii) her inverted image keeps increasing in size and eventually becomes erect and magnified.
  • (iv) her erect image keeps increasing in size.
Show answer Hide answer
Answer
Option (iii) is correct.

Explanation

  • Far away, a concave mirror gives a small inverted image.
  • As she comes closer, the inverted image grows larger.
  • Very close, the image becomes erect and magnified.
Her inverted image grows as she nears the mirror, then becomes erect and magnified up close.
