A convex (diverging) mirror always forms an image that is:
AReal, inverted, magnified
BVirtual, erect, diminished, between pole and focus
CReal, inverted, diminished
DVirtual, inverted, magnified
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Virtual, erect, diminished, between pole and focus
**Convex mirror always produces virtual, erect, diminished image** for a real object (regardless of object distance). Used for car side mirrors (wide field of view) and security mirrors. The image forms between pole and focus (behind mirror).
