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)`.

A convex mirror forms a real image 5 times the size of the object placed at a distance of 20 cm from it. The radius of curvature of the mirror is

`(100)/(3)cm`

`(50)/(3)cm`

`100cm`

`50cm`

A : Plane and convex mirrors can produce real images of objects. R : A plane of convex mirror can produce a real image if the object is virtual.

If both Assertion & Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark (1).

If both Assertion & Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark (2).

If Assertion is true statement but Reason is false, then mark (3).

If both Assertion and Reason are false statements, then mark (4).

Assertion : If two rays start from a point along different paths and then meet again at some point then this point is called real image. Reason: Convex mirror can never form a real image.
