When an object is placed in front of a convex mirror, then the image will be ____. List all that apply ... .

The LOST Art of Image Formation:

A convex mirror produces images which always have the same characteristics regardless of where the image is located. The four characteristics which are important in the description of a convex mirror image are easily remembered by the mnemonic LOST: Location, Orientation, Size and Type.

The collection of questions within this sublevel are straightforward. You likely have received a handout or a collection of class notes on the topic. Or perhaps you have constructed ray diagrams in class for the various regions and locations and were able to draw conclusions regarding the image characteristics. You probably have made direct observations of actual images in lab investigations. A web page from The Physics Classroom Tutorial exists that thoroughly addresses the topic. If you're having difficulty with this question, then be resourceful. Open your class notes, review lab observations, or look at the front and back of a spoon. Use the LOST model described in the Physics Rules section above. You will benefit greatly from the effort made to do so; and you will likely never miss a question on this sublevel and never have to refer to this help page again.

What characteristics will an image have if the object is placed in front of a convex mirror?

What characteristics will an image have if the object is placed beyond the center of curvature of a concave mirror?

Convex mirror images are different than concave mirror images in that the image formed by a convex mirror ______. List all that apply ... .

What characteristics will an image have if the object is placed beyond the center of curvature of a concave mirror?

An 'object arrow' (in RED) is placed in front of a convex mirror as shown in the diagram below. Which image (drawn and labeled in GREEN) represents the approximate location, size and orientation for such an object position?

A convex mirror produces images which always have the same characteristics regardless of where the image is located. The four characteristics which are important in the description of a convex mirror image are easily remembered by the mnemonic LOST: Location, Orientation, Size and Type.

Your goal is to match the correct image to the given object based upon the characteristics of the image. You can eliminate many of the image options quickly based upon general location - located on object's side of the mirror vs. located behind the mirror. You can also eliminate many of the image options quickly based upon orientation - upright vs. inverted. Finally, you can eliminate all but the remaining choice based upon relative size - magnified vs. reduced.
