Question

Which of the following statements are correct regarding a convex mirror?

• A. It is a convergent mirror.
  
• B. It can form a real and enlarged image.
• C. It always forms a virtual image.
  
• D. It always forms a virtual and enlarged image.

Answer 1

The correct option is C It always forms a virtual image.


If the reflecting surface is curved outwards, it is a convex mirror. A convex mirror always forms a virtual, erect and diminished image. A convex mirror is a divergent mirror.
Hence, only one statement ‘It always forms a virtual image’ is correct.
