If the image formed by a mirror for all positions of the object in front of it is
always erect diminished, what type of mirror is it? Draw a ray diagram to justify
your answer . Where and why do we generally use this type of mirror?

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Type of Mirror**: - The question states that the image formed by the mirror is always erect and diminished for all positions of the object. This indicates that the mirror must be a **convex mirror**. Convex mirrors always produce virtual, erect, and diminished images regardless of the object's position. 2. **Draw the Ray Diagram**: - Start by drawing a convex mirror. Label the mirror with its reflective surface on the left side. - Draw the principal axis (a horizontal line) that intersects the mirror. ...
