Which spherical mirror always forms a virtual, erect and diminished image for every object position?
Aconcave mirror
Bplane mirror
Cconvex mirror
Dspherical mirror
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. convex mirror
1. In a convex mirror reflected rays always diverge.
2. Their backward extensions meet behind the mirror, giving a virtual, erect image.
3. The image is always smaller than the object, for every position.
