A real image of an object is to be obtained. The mirror required for this purpose is : (a) convex (b) concave (c) plane (d) either convex or concave

Solution

Both convex and plane mirrors form a virtual image. Only a concave mirror can form a real image, so the correct choice is (b).

Q. A real image can be obtained with

(a) a plane mirror
(b) with a concave mirror
