The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements about the image formation by a convex mirror are correct, we need to analyze each statement based on the properties of convex mirrors. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Image Formation by a Convex Mirror**: - A convex mirror always forms images that are virtual, erect, and diminished (smaller than the object). This is due to the nature of how light rays diverge after reflecting off the surface of the mirror. 2. **Analyzing Each Statement**: - **Statement 1**: "Image formed by convex mirror can be real." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. A convex mirror cannot form real images; it only forms virtual images. - **Statement 2**: "Image formed by convex mirror can be virtual." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. Convex mirrors always produce virtual images that cannot be projected on a screen. - **Statement 3**: "Image formed by convex mirror can be magnified." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. The images formed by convex mirrors are smaller than the actual object (diminished), not magnified. - **Statement 4**: "Image formed by convex mirror can be inverted." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. The images formed by convex mirrors are always erect (upright) and not inverted. 3. **Conclusion**: - The only correct statement is that the image formed by a convex mirror can be virtual. ### Final Answer: - The correct statement is: "Image formed by convex mirror can be virtual."
