The correct Answer is:
To determine which mirror produces a virtual, erect, and diminished image of an object, we can analyze the characteristics of different types of mirrors: convex, concave, and plane mirrors. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Mirror Types**: - **Convex Mirror**: A mirror that curves outward. It always produces virtual images. - **Concave Mirror**: A mirror that curves inward. It can produce both real and virtual images depending on the position of the object. - **Plane Mirror**: A flat mirror that produces virtual images. 2. **Analyzing the Convex Mirror**: - A convex mirror always produces: - **Virtual Images**: The image cannot be projected on a screen. - **Erect Images**: The image appears upright. - **Diminished Images**: The image is smaller than the object. - Therefore, a convex mirror meets all the criteria: virtual, erect, and diminished. 3. **Analyzing the Plane Mirror**: - A plane mirror produces: - **Virtual Images**: The image cannot be projected on a screen. - **Erect Images**: The image appears upright. - **Same Size Images**: The image is the same size as the object. - Since the image is not diminished, a plane mirror does not meet all the criteria. 4. **Analyzing the Concave Mirror**: - A concave mirror can produce: - **Virtual Images**: When the object is placed between the focal point and the mirror. - **Erect Images**: The image appears upright in this case. - **Enlarged Images**: The image is larger than the object. - Since the image is enlarged, a concave mirror does not meet the criteria of being diminished. 5. **Conclusion**: - Among the three types of mirrors analyzed, only the **convex mirror** produces a virtual, erect, and diminished image of an object. ### Final Answer: The mirror that produces a virtual, erect, and diminished image of an object is the **convex mirror**. ---
