Question

Figure shows incident rays falling on a convex mirror. The nature of the object and image, respectively are :

• A. Object $\to$ Real , Image $\to$ Virtual
• B. Object $\to$ Virtual, Image $\to$ Real
• C. Object $\to$ Virtual , Image $\to$ Virtual
• D. Object $\to$ Real , Image $\to$ Virtual

Answer 1

The correct option is C Object $\to$ Virtual , Image $\to$ Virtual


It is evident from the ray diagram that the rays appear to converge to a point behind the mirror. Hence, the object is virtual.

Also, the image is formed by the virtual intersection of reflected rays. So, image is also virtual.

Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.
