Question

In the arrangement shown in fig, the image of the extended object as seen by the observer is:

• A. Real and inverted
• B. Real and erect
• C. Virtual and inverted
• D. Virtual and erect

Answer 1

The correct option is D Virtual and erect

Clearly as shown in the figure, the rays that emerge from the top of an extended source get reflected twice to stay at the top and thus give an erect image.

Also, plane mirrors always form a virtual image. Hence even such a combination gives a virtual image.
