Question

Assertion : Plane and convex mirrors can produce real images of objects.
Reason : A plane or convex mirror can produce a real image, if the object is virtual.

Choose the correct one out of the given responses.

• A. Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
• B. Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
• C. Assertion is true, but reason is false.
• D. Both assertion and reason are false.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

A plane mirror and a concave mirror produces a virtual image for a real object.
However, if an object is virtual then light rays will undergo real intersection to form a real image.
$\therefore$ Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
