Submit concave convex long short larger smaller real virtual upright inverted in front behind diverge from converge to Reset Help The spoon is a concave mirror with a smaller focal length. Your face is an object at a distance much larger than the focal length. The spoon reflects rays from your face to form a long inverted image that is virtual of the spoon. The rays do not stop at the image; they converge to the image plane and enter your eye. Thus what your eye is focused on is a virtual image of your face that is inverted (and also reduced in size).
