Plane mirror may form a real image at finite distance from it,

A

if converging light rays are incident on the mirror

B

if diverging light rays are incident on the mirror

C

if parallel light rays are incident on the mirror

D

under no circumstances

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Plane mirror forms real image for virtual object. Converging rays can provide virtual object to plane mirror and thus it may form real image for those rays. Hence, option (a) is correct.
