Question
No matter how far you stand from a mirror, your image appears erect. The mirror is likely to be ______.
Options
Plane
Concave
Convex
Either plane or convex
Solution
No matter how far you stand from a mirror, your image appears erect. The mirror is likely to be either plane or convex.
Explanation:
A convex mirror always gives a virtual and erect image of a smaller size of the object placed in front of it. Similarly, a plane mirror will always give a virtual and erect image of the same size as that of the object placed in front of it. Therefore, the given mirror could be either plane or convex.
