Can a convex mirror form a real image! Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes, only when the object is virtual and is placed between F and P. Fig Shows a convex mirror exposed to a converging beam which converges to a point lies between F and P.
`v=(-xf)/(f_(0)-x)`, v becomes negative(real image) only when `x lt f_(0)`.
