A small light bulb and thin sheet of glass are put inside a box. The thin sheet of glass acts as a
mirror. Although the light bulb is switched on, a student looking into the box cannot see the bulb.
What the student does see is a virtual image of the bulb.

(a) Use a ruler to complete a ray diagram to show how the image of the light bulb is formed.
Mark and label the position of the image.

the image changes:

(i) when the object OB is moved towards the focal point F.
