13.2 Images Formed by Mirrors

A horizontal principal axis line extends across the diagram. A convex spherical mirror is positioned vertically at the center, curving outward toward the left (the reflective side facing left). On the left side of the mirror, an object represented by a vertical upward-pointing arrow of height \(h\) stands on the principal axis at a distance \(d_o\) from the mirror vertex. On the right side of the mirror along the principal axis, a focal point labeled \(F\) is marked at distance \(|f|\) from the vertex, and a center of curvature labeled \(C\) is marked at distance \(2|f|\) from the vertex. No other labels, lines, text, or axes appear.
Object placed in front of a convex mirror.
An object is placed at a distance \(d_o\) in front of a convex spherical mirror with a focal length of magnitude \(|f|\), as shown in the diagram. As the object is moved farther away from the mirror (increasing \(d_o\)), which of the following correctly describes the type of image formed and how the magnitude of its magnification \(|M|\) changes?
