The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion and the reason given: **Assertion**: A convex mirror can never make a real image. **Reason**: For all real objects, the image formed by a convex mirror is virtual. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Convex Mirrors**: - Convex mirrors are curved outward and always produce virtual images when real objects are placed in front of them. This is due to the way light rays behave when they strike the surface of a convex mirror. 2. **Image Formation by Convex Mirrors**: - When a real object is placed in front of a convex mirror, the reflected rays diverge. The extensions of these diverging rays appear to come from a point behind the mirror, forming a virtual image. 3. **Assertion Analysis**: - The assertion states that a convex mirror can never make a real image. This is **true** for real objects because real objects placed in front of a convex mirror will always yield a virtual image. 4. **Reason Analysis**: - The reason states that for all real objects, the image formed by a convex mirror is virtual. This statement is **true** because, as previously mentioned, real objects do not produce real images in convex mirrors. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion is false (a convex mirror cannot produce a real image from a real object) and the reason is true (the image formed by a convex mirror from real objects is indeed virtual), we conclude that the assertion is incorrect while the reason is correct. ### Final Answer: - The assertion is **false**, and the reason is **true**.
