Question

Doctors use convex mirror reflectors to produce a parallel beam of light for examining body parts such as the eyes, ears, nose, and throat.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. A convex mirror always forms an image that is virtual, erect, and diminished.
2. Concave mirrors can be used to form all types of images.
3. The nature of the image depends on the position of the object.
4. The image can be real or virtual, enlarged or diminished, erect or inverted.
5. If the object is placed between the focus and the pole, the image formed is virtual, erect, and enlarged.
6. Doctors need an enlarged view while examining the ear, nose, eyes, and throat.
7. So, they use concave mirror reflectors to produce a parallel beam of light for examining body parts such as the eyes, ears, nose, and throat.
8. Therefore, the given statement is false.
