Question

Pick the correct matchings of the elements of column-I with those of column-II.
Column-I Column-II
1. Plane mirror (p) Forms real image
2. Convex mirror (q) Forms image of the same size as that of the object
3. Concave mirror (r) Always forms virtual and diminished images

• A. 1-(p), 2-(q), 3-(r)
• B. 1-(r), 2-(q), 3-(p)
• C. 1-(q), 2-(r), 3-(p)
• D. 1-(r), 2-(p), 3-(q)

Answer 1

The correct option is C 1-(q), 2-(r), 3-(p)

Images formed by plane mirrors are virtual, upright, laterally inverted, the same distance from the mirror as the object's distance, and the same size as the object.
A convex mirror always form virtual,erect and diminished image irrespective of object distance.
Concave mirrors form both real and virtual images. When the concave mirror is placed very close to the object, a virtual and magnified image is obtained and if we increase the distance between the object and the mirror, the size of the image reduces and real images are formed.
