A mobile phone lies along the principal axis of a concave mirror as shown in Fig. Show by suitable diagram, the formation of its image. Explain why the magnification is not uniform, and distortion will occur depending on the location of the mobile with respect to the mirror.

Answer» The ray diagram for the formation of the image of the phone is shown in Fig. 9.7. The image of the part which is on the plane perpendicular to principal axis will be on the same plane. It will be of the same size, i.e., B′C = BC. You can yourself realise why the image is distorted.
