The ray diagram shows a vase that is placed beyond the center of curvature of a concave mirror.
A vase is the object in front of a concave mirror further from the mirror than the center of curvature. The first ray is parallel to the principal axis and strikes the mirror. The second light ray goes through the focal point and strikes the mirror.
Which best describes how the image of the vase will appear?
It will be larger than the vase and upright.
It will be smaller than the vase and upright.
It will be larger than the vase and inverted.
It will be smaller than the vase and inverted.

It will be smaller than the vase and inverted.
Explanation: For a concave mirror with the object beyond the center of curvature (beyond 2f), rays from the object reflect and converge to form a real image located between the focal point and the center of curvature (between F and C). That image is inverted and reduced in size.
