Assertion (A):A convex mirror cannot form real images.
Reason (R): Convex mirror converges the parallel rays that are incident on it.

A

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

B

Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

C

A is true but R is false

D

A is false and R is True

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Convex mirrors always, form virtual image. So, the assertion is true. Parallel rays incident on convex mirror do not actually meet. They get reflected in such a manner that their extension meet at a point. So, the reason is false .
