**Solution:** To determine the type of spherical mirror that always forms an erect and diminished image for all positions of the object placed in front of it, we can analyze the characteristics of different types of mirrors. 1. **Identify the Mirror Type**: - The mirror that always produces an erect and diminished image is a **convex mirror**. - Convex mirrors diverge light rays, causing them to appear to originate from a virtual focal point behind the mirror. This results in images that are always upright (erect) and smaller (diminished) than the actual object. ...
