SAT II Physics question

Test Preparation
1

<p>I am studying from Sparknotes's SAT II Physics prep book and I'm having some difficulties with optics. In practice test 2 #34 the problem states: Which of the following statements about mirrors are true for concave mirrors but not convex mirrors?</p>

<p>I. The focal point is in front of the mirror
II. The image is real
III. Incoming rays that hit the vertex are reflected at an equal angle to the axis.</p>

<p>I picked I only, but the answer is I and II.... If the object is located in front of the focal point, the image will be virtual right? So why am I wrong?</p>

<p>I'm not sure but in my book it says that with a concave mirror you can get both real and virtual images; and with a convex, only virtual images. Hope that helps.</p>
