The image by a convex mirror of an object placed at infinity is:
The image by a convex mirror of an object placed at infinity is:
Show Hint
Convex mirrors always form virtual, diminished, and erect images, making them ideal for rear-view mirrors.

Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
A convex mirror always forms a virtual, erect, and diminished image of an object, irrespective of its position. When an object is placed at infinity, the image is formed at the focus (F) of the mirror. Convex mirrors are commonly used in vehicle rear-view mirrors due to their ability to provide a wider field of view.
