Question
An object is placed in front of a convex mirror. Its image is formed ______.
Options
at a distance equal to the object's distance in front of the mirror.
at twice the distance of the object in front of the mirror.
half the distance of the object in front of the mirror.
behind the mirror and its position varies according to the object's distance.
Solution
An object is placed in front of a convex mirror. Its image is formed behind the mirror and its position varies according to the object's distance.
Explanation:
An object's virtual image is always created when it is placed in front of a convex mirror, as depicted in the figure. The size of the convex mirror's image is independent of the object's proximity to the mirror. Always smaller than the original and placed behind the mirror, these pictures are imaginary.
