To form the image on the object itself, how should we place the object in front of a concave mirror? Explain with a ray diagram. (AS5)


When the object is placed on the center of curvature in front of the concave mirror, the rays parallel to the principal axis passes through the focus. Another incident ray which passes through the focus after reflection will be parallel to the principal axis. The two reflecting rays meet at center of curvature thus image is formed there.
