Forms a Virtual Image That Is Located Behind the Mirror
A virtual image formed by a concave mirror is always enlarged. As shown in the diagram below the virtual image appears the same distance behind the plane mirror as the object is in front of the mirror. Image Formation By Mirrors Physics What is the magnification of the image. . A _____ mirror always forms a virtual image. With a plane mirror the image may be infinitely far behind the mirror depending on where the object is located in front of the mirror. State three characteristics of the image. For instance rays emanating from the tip of the object appear after reflection from the mirror to come from a point which is behind the mirror. The focal length f and the image distance are always NEGATIVE beacause the image is formed behind the mirror. A virtual image is always located behind the optic lens or mirror that creates it. The image produced by a convex mirror is always closer to the mirror than it woul...
