The image of the candle will be formed between the focal point and the center of curvature of the concave mirror. The exact location of the image will depend on the distance between the candle and the mirror.
No, the image of the candle can only be formed behind the mirror in a concave mirror. This is because the light rays from the candle converge and then diverge after reflecting off the mirror, creating a virtual image that appears to be behind the mirror.
The image of the candle formed by a concave mirror will be inverted. This is because the light rays from the top and bottom of the candle cross over each other when reflecting off the mirror, resulting in an inverted image.
The size of the image of the candle can be determined using the magnification equation: M = -v/u, where M is the magnification, v is the image distance, and u is the object distance. A magnification of less than 1 indicates a smaller image, while a magnification greater than 1 indicates a larger image.
The image of the candle formed by a concave mirror is virtual. This means that the light rays from the candle do not actually converge at a point to form the image, but they appear to come from a point behind the mirror. This can be seen by placing a screen at the location of the image, where the image will be visible but cannot be projected onto the screen.
