Question:
Which of the following is the imaginary (virtual) image formed in a convex mirror?
Which of the following is the imaginary (virtual) image formed in a convex mirror?
Show Hint
Convex mirrors are used as rear-view mirrors in vehicles because they provide a wider field of view.

- Inverted and magnified
- Straight and small
- Straight and magnified
- None of these
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
Convex mirrors are curved outward and always produce virtual images. These images cannot be projected on a screen because the light rays do not actually meet but appear to diverge from a point.
Step 2: Characteristics of Image in Convex Mirror:
Always virtual (imaginary).
Always erect (straight).
Always diminished (smaller than the object).
Step 3: Final Answer:
Thus, a convex mirror forms an image that is Straight and small.

- One day the old emperor Shah Jahan became ill. His son Aurangzeb, who always wanted to be the emperor, put his father in a jail. Jahanara Begum, the eldest child of Shah Jahan, did not leave her father and went to jail along with him. She said, “I shall share the suffering of my father.
