The image formed in a convex mirror-
- i. is always smaller than the size of the object
- ii. is always virtual and upright
- iii. is always formed behind the mirror
Think it through first, then pick an option.
- a i and ii
- b i and iii
- c ii and iii
- d i, ii and iii
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: d i, ii and iii
i true: The image in a convex mirror is always smaller than the object. ii true: The image in a convex mirror is always virtual and upright. iii true: The image lies between the focus and the pole, which is behind the mirror.
Why the other options are wrong
- a i and ii: This is not the answer; the right combination is i, ii and iii. i true: The image in a convex mirror is always smaller than the object. ii true: The image in a convex mirror is always virtual and upright. iii true: The image lies between the focus and the pole, which is behind the mirror.
- b i and iii: This is not the answer; the right combination is i, ii and iii. i true: The image in a convex mirror is always smaller than the object. ii true: The image in a convex mirror is always virtual and upright. iii true: The image lies between the focus and the pole, which is behind the mirror.
- c ii and iii: This is not the answer; the right combination is i, ii and iii. i true: The image in a convex mirror is always smaller than the object. ii true: The image in a convex mirror is always virtual and upright. iii true: The image lies between the focus and the pole, which is behind the mirror.
