Question

The passenger side-view mirror on an automobile often has notation. "Objects seen in the mirror are closer than they appear". Is the image really farther away than the object?

• A. Yes, the image is smaller and farther away than the object.
• B. Yes, the image is larger and farther away than the object.
• C. No, the image is larger and closer than the object.
• D. No, the image is smaller and closer than object.

Answer 1

The correct option is D No, the image is smaller and closer than object.

As side-view mirrors are made up of Convex mirrors and they form smaller images and they make images far away than the object. That's why the image is smaller and closer than the object.
