Question

Which of the following is the correct statement regarding the nature of the image formed by a convex mirror (for a real object)?

• A. The image is always diminished
• B. The image is always real
• C. The image is always inverted
• D. The image is always enlarged

Answer 1

The correct option is A The image is always diminished

As a convex mirror always diverges rays incident on it, it can't form an enlarged or real image, for any position, as is clear for different object and corresponding images in diagram below. It will always form a diminished and virtual (also erect) image.
