Answer 1

An object at a distance of  +15 cm is slowly moved towards the pole of a convex mirror. The image will get diminished and virtual.

Explanation:

• A convex mirror always forms virtual, erect, and diminished images, regardless of the position of the object.
• As the object moves closer to the pole of the convex mirror, the image remains virtual and erect, but its size increases slightly while still being diminished compared to the object.
