Question

Identify the mirror which is small in size, but can form a full virtual image of a tall building?

• A. Concave mirror
• B. Plane mirror
• C. A combination of concave and plane mirror
• D. A convex mirror

Answer 1

The correct option is D A convex mirror

• A convex mirror always forms a diminished image of an object, irrespective of the object position and size.
• Since a mirror should be small, a plane mirror cannot form the full image. It forms an image of the same size as that of the object.
• Concave mirror forms enlarged virtual image of an object, hence, it can not form a full image of a tall building.
