The correct Answer is:
To analyze the assertion and reason provided in the question, we can break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that "Light converges on a virtual object." - A virtual object is a point from which light rays appear to diverge after reflection or refraction. In the context of mirrors, a virtual object is formed when the light rays seem to originate from a point behind the mirror. ### Step 2: Understand the Reason The reason states that "A virtual object is always behind a mirror." - This is true because, in the case of a plane mirror or a concave mirror, the virtual object is considered to be behind the mirror. The light rays that are reflected appear to come from a location behind the mirror. ### Step 3: Analyze the Relationship Between Assertion and Reason - The assertion is true as light can indeed converge on a virtual object. However, the reason provided is also true, but it does not provide a direct explanation for the assertion. The assertion is about the convergence of light on a virtual object, while the reason simply states the location of the virtual object. ### Step 4: Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are true statements, but the reason does not correctly explain the assertion. Therefore, the correct answer is that both statements are true, but the reason is not a correct explanation for the assertion. ### Final Answer Both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason is not a correct explanation for the assertion. ---

Virtual image are always inverted

Assertion: A convex mirror always make a virtual image. Reason: The ray always diverge after reflection from the convex mirror.

Assertion : A convex mirror can never make a real image Reason : For all real objects image formed by a convex mirror is virtual

Nature of image of a real object formed by convex mirror is always

Assertion : Focal length of a convex mirror is 20 cm. If a real object is placed at distance 20 cm from the mirror, its virtual erect and diminished image will be formed. Reason : If a virtual object is placed at 20 cm distance, its image is formed at infintiy.

A virtual image larger than the object can be obtained by

Assertion:Image formed by concave lens is not always virtual. Reason:Image formed by a lens is real if the image is formed in the direction of ray of light with respect to the lens.

Assertion : If magnification of real object is -2. Then, it is definitely a concave mirror. Reason : Only concave mirror can make real images of real objects.

Assertion : In case of a concave mirror if a point object is moving towards the mirror along its principal axis, then its image will move away from the mirror. Reason : In case of reflection (along the principal axis of mirror) object and image always travel in opposite directions.

Assetion : Rear view mirror of vehicles is a convex mirror. Reason : It never makes real image of real objects.
