Image formed by a convex mirror is

A

is always virtual

B

is always real

C

is always virtual if object is real

D

is always real if object is virtual

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Convex mirror always forms virtual image for real objects only. Hence, option (c) is correct. Moreover, for virtual objects convex mirror behaves like concave mirror do for real objects. Hence, for virtual objects convex mirror can form real as well as virtual images.
