Assertion (A): A convex mirror always forms a diminished and virtual image.
Reason (R): The laws of reflection are not applicable in the case of shpherical mirrors.

A

Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A

B

Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C

A is correct and R is incorrect.

D

Both A and R are incorrect.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In the case of a convex mirror, the nature of the image formed is always diminished and it is a virtual and erect image. So, A is correct but R is incorrect because the laws of reflection are applicable in all types of mirrors including spherical mirrors.
