Can a convex mirror form a real image! Explain.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Convex Mirrors**: - A convex mirror is a type of mirror that curves outward. It is known for producing images that are virtual, upright, and smaller than the object. 2. **Image Formation by Convex Mirrors**: - When a real object is placed in front of a convex mirror, the rays of light diverge after reflecting off the mirror. The reflected rays appear to come from a point behind the mirror, thus forming a virtual image. ...
