An object placed at three distinct locations in front of a concave mirror.
An object placed at three distinct locations in front of a concave mirror.
An upright object is placed along the principal axis of a concave spherical mirror of focal length \(f\) at three different distances: Location 1 at \(d_o = 3f\), Location 2 at \(d_o = 1.5f\), and Location 3 at \(d_o = 0.5f\).

Location 1 (\(d_o = 3f\))Location 2 (\(d_o = 1.5f\))Location 3 (\(d_o = 0.5f\))
Row AReal, inverted, \(|M| < 1\)Real, upright, \(|M| > 1\)Virtual, upright, \(|M| > 1\)
Row BReal, upright, \(|M| < 1\)Real, upright, \(|M| > 1\)Virtual, inverted, \(|M| > 1\)
Row CReal, inverted, \(|M| < 1\)Real, inverted, \(|M| > 1\)Virtual, upright, \(|M| > 1\)
Row DReal, inverted, \(|M| > 1\)Real, inverted, \(|M| < 1\)Virtual, upright, \(|M| < 1\)

Which row in the table correctly identifies the image type, orientation, and magnification magnitude \(|M|\) for each object location?
