Solution

The correct option is D virtual
Virtual images cannot be captured on a screen, whereas real images can be. If the light rays after reflection diverge away from the mirror, they are considered to be coming from a point on the other side of the mirror. This results in the formation of a virtual image or a fake image, like the one formed in a plane mirror.

Q. Assertion: The image of a virtual object due to a plane mirror is real.
Reason :.If the rays seem to be converging at a point behind a plane mirror, they are reflected and they actually meet in front of the mirror.

When the reflected rays from an object appear to meet at a point. The image formed will be:

In the case wherein the object is kept at the focus, the reflected rays are parallel that is they never meet then howcome it is said that the image is formed at infinity. The image is formed only when the reflected rays meet right?

Q. A point source of light is placed in front of a plane mirror.

(b) Only the reflected rays close to the normal meet at a point when produced backward.
(c) Only the reflected rays making a small angle with the mirror meet at a point when produced backward.
(d) Light of different colours make different images.

Q. ___________is the image which forms when the light rays appear to meet at a point after the reflection.
