What happens to a virtual image in a convex mirror as the object recedes?
AIt grows much larger
BIt becomes inverted
CIt exits the mirror
DIt shrinks to focus
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. It shrinks to focus
Moving an object away from a convex mirror reduces image size toward a focal point behind the pole.
