The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements provided in the question, we will evaluate each statement separately and determine their truth values. ### Step 1: Evaluate Statement 1 **Statement 1:** "We cannot produce a real image by plane or convex mirror under any circumstances." - **Analysis:** This statement is incorrect. A real image can be produced by a plane or convex mirror if the incident rays are converging. For instance, if parallel rays converge before reaching the mirror, they can reflect off the mirror and form a real image. Thus, it is possible to produce a real image under specific conditions. **Conclusion for Statement 1:** False ### Step 2: Evaluate Statement 2 **Statement 2:** "The focal length of a convex mirror is always taken as positive." - **Analysis:** This statement is true. In optics, the focal length of a convex mirror is defined as positive because, by convention, distances measured in the direction of the incoming light rays are considered positive. Since the focus of a convex mirror lies behind the mirror (in the direction from which the light comes), it is assigned a positive value. **Conclusion for Statement 2:** True ### Step 3: Determine the Relationship Between the Statements - Statement 1 is false, and Statement 2 is true. There is no direct relationship between the two statements; they address different aspects of mirror optics. ### Final Conclusion - **Statement 1:** False - **Statement 2:** True Based on the evaluations, the correct option is that Statement 1 is false and Statement 2 is true. ---
