A real image, equal in size to the object, is obtained when the object is placed
A real image, equal in size to the object, is obtained when the object is placed at the centre of curvature in front of a:
- A. Concave mirror
- B. Plane mirror
- C. Convex mirror
- D. None of these
Step-by-step solution
For a concave mirror, when the object is placed at the centre of curvature (C), the image is formed at C, real, inverted, and of the same size. Plane mirrors produce virtual images, and convex mirrors produce virtual, diminished images, so only a concave mirror satisfies the condition.
