The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements about spherical mirrors are incorrect, we need to analyze each option systematically. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Types of Spherical Mirrors**: - There are two types of spherical mirrors: concave and convex. - Concave mirrors can form both real and virtual images depending on the position of the object. - Convex mirrors always form virtual images. 2. **Evaluate Each Statement**: - **Option A**: "The concave mirror forms only virtual images at any position for real objects." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. A concave mirror can form real images when the object is placed beyond the center of curvature. It only forms a virtual image when the object is placed between the focus and the mirror. - **Option B**: "Convex mirror only forms virtual images for any point." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. A convex mirror always forms virtual images regardless of the position of the object. - **Option C**: "Concave mirror forms only virtual and diminished images for an object placed between the pole and focus." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. While the image is virtual when the object is placed between the pole and the focus, it is not diminished; it is actually magnified. - **Option D**: "Convex mirror forms a virtual enlarged image of the object that lies between the focus and the pole." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. A convex mirror always forms a virtual image, but it is not enlarged; it is diminished. 3. **Conclusion**: - The incorrect statements are A, C, and D. ### Final Answer: The incorrect statements for spherical mirrors are: - Option A - Option C - Option D

To determine which statements about spherical mirrors are incorrect, we need to analyze each option systematically. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Types of Spherical Mirrors**: - There are two types of spherical mirrors: concave and convex. - Concave mirrors can form both real and virtual images depending on the position of the object. - Convex mirrors always form virtual images. ...
