Is the image ...

Question

Is the image formed in a convex, concave and plane mirror behind the reflecting surface?

Solution

Hi,

This is not compulsory. It depends on the nature of image. In plane mirror and convex mirror virtual image is formed behind the mirror. But, in case of concave mirror, image my be real or virtual. Hence, it may form infront of the reflection surface(if real) and behind the reflecting surface(if virtual).
