Question

Ram is looking at his face in a mirror kept $10cm$ away and he finds that his image is erect and magnified $(m=1.8)$ . If he holds the mirror $50cm$ away :

• A. He cannot see the image because reflected rays falling on his eyes are converging
• B. He sees a magnified and erect image
• C. He sees a diminished and inverted image
• D. He sees a magnified and inverted image

Answer 1

The correct option is C He sees a diminished and inverted image

In general, the image distance to any object in the room which is seen in the mirror is simply the total length of the light path from the object to the mirror, and then from the mirror to the person’s eye.

so the image will for form away from the ram and it would be diminished and inverted.

therefore, he sees himself a diminshed and inverted face.
