The light reflected by a plane mirror may form a real image

A

if the rays incident on the mirror are converging

B

if the rays incident on the mirror are diverging

C

under no circumstances

D

if the object is placed very close to the mirror.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

The light reflected by a plane mirror may from a real image if the rays incident on the mirror are converging. The ray diagram is shown in the figure where O is the virtual object and I is the real image as the rays are actually meeting at I after reflection.
