GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -Convex mirrors always form virtual images. This is because the focal point and the centre of curvature of the convex mirror are imaginary points and that cannot be reached. So the image is formed inside the mirror and cannot be projected on a screen.

Detailed explanation-2: -The image formed by a convex mirror is always erect, virtual and diminished irrespective of the position of the object. Whereas a concave mirror can form both real and virtual images depending upon the position of the object with respect to the mirror.

Detailed explanation-3: -After reflection, the light rays diverge; subsequently they will never intersect on the object side of the mirror. For this reason, convex mirrors produce virtual images that are located somewhere behind the mirror.

Detailed explanation-4: -All images in convex mirrors are upright, virtual, and diminished. As the object moves toward the mirror, the image also moves toward the mirror and increases in size.

Detailed explanation-5: -A convex mirror always forms a virtual, erect, and diminished image, irrespective of the position of the object.
