Question

All the following statements are correct except

• A. The magnification produced by a convex mirror is always less than one.
• B. A virtual, crect , same-size image can be obtained by using a plane mirror.
• C. A virtual, crect , magnified image can be formed by using a convex mirror.
• D. A virtual, inverted , same-sized image can be formed by using a convex mirror.

Answer 1

The correct option is C A virtual, crect , magnified image can be formed by using a convex mirror.

The correct option is (C).

A convex mirror always forms virtual, erect images with sizes either the same or smaller than the object. The convex mirror produces magnification which is always less than one.

Hence option (C) is not the correct explanation of convex mirror.
