Solution

Image Formation By A Convex Mirror:
The rays falling on a convex mirror after reflection, diverge. Whatever may be the position of the object in front of a convex mirror, we always get the image having the following characteristics.
Position of object -At infinity
Position of the image -At focus (F)
Nature of the image -Virtual and upright
