Solution

The correct option is B False
  1. Concave mirror is a spherical mirror with reflecting surface curved inwards.
  2. A real image is formed when rays from an object after reflection, actually meet at a point.
  3. Real images can be obtained on a screen.
  4. In most cases, the image formed by a concave mirror can be obtained on a screen.
  5. But, when the object is between the focus (F) and pole (P), the image formed is virtual, erect, and enlarged.
  6. For example, when we use the concave mirror as a make-up mirror, we see our virtual image.

Thus, the given statement is false. The correct statement is that the image formed by a concave mirror is always real except when the object is between the focus (F) and pole (P).
