The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states that "Light converges on a virtual object." - In optics, a virtual object is an object from which light appears to diverge, but does not actually converge. However, in the context of mirrors, when we look at the image formed by a concave mirror, the light rays seem to converge at a point behind the mirror, which is perceived as a virtual object. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states that "Virtual object is always behind a mirror." - This is true because a virtual object is formed when the light rays diverge from a point behind the mirror. In the case of a concave mirror, the virtual object is indeed located behind the mirror, and this is a characteristic of virtual objects in mirror optics. ### Step 3: Determine the Relationship Now we need to check if the reason correctly explains the assertion. - Since the assertion is true (light converges on a virtual object in the context of mirrors) and the reason is also true (the virtual object is always behind a mirror), we can conclude that the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion. ### Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason provides a correct explanation for the assertion. ### Final Answer - Assertion: True - Reason: True - The reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. ---
