Can plane and convex mirrors produce real images? Give an explanation to your answer.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The rays of light converging to a point behind the plane mirror or convex mirror are reflected to a point in front of the mirror on a screen. In other words, a plane or convex mirror can produce a real image if the object is virtual.
