The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the statement "The size of the images produced by any mirror is the same as that of the object" is true or false, we can analyze the properties of different types of mirrors. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Types of Mirrors**: - There are three main types of mirrors: plane mirrors, concave mirrors, and convex mirrors. - Each type of mirror has different properties regarding image formation. 2. **Analyzing Plane Mirrors**: - In the case of a plane mirror, the image formed is virtual, upright, and of the same size as the object. - Therefore, for plane mirrors, the statement holds true. 3. **Analyzing Concave Mirrors**: - Concave mirrors can produce images of various sizes depending on the position of the object relative to the focal point. - For example, if the object is placed at infinity, the image formed is highly diminished (very small). - Hence, the size of the image is not equal to the size of the object in this case. 4. **Analyzing Convex Mirrors**: - Convex mirrors always produce virtual images that are smaller than the object, regardless of the object's position. - Therefore, the size of the image is also not equal to the size of the object in this case. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since there are cases (concave and convex mirrors) where the size of the image is not equal to the size of the object, the statement "The size of the images produced by any mirror is the same as that of the object" is false. ### Final Answer: The statement is **false**. ---
