by an apparent intersection of the reflected rays. What can you say about
(a) nature of the image (b) the type of mirror used?
Answers
Answer:
the nature of image is virtual and erect and mirror bused is concave mirror
Answer:
(a) The image is virtual and erect.
(b) The mirror used is convex. It may also be a concave mirror only if the object was placed between the focus and the pole of the mirror.
Explanation:
When the image of an object is formed by the actual intersection of light rays, then the real image is formed, which can also be taken on a screen but when the image of object is formed by apparent intersection of the light rays then the virtual image formed, which can not be taken on a screen.
Also, when the image is formed by a mirror on the same side as that of the object, then the formed image real otherwise it is virtual.
Concave mirrors always form real and inverted images in front of the mirror, i.e., on the same side where the object is placed, except for the case when the object is placed between the focus and the pole of the mirror.
Convex mirrors always form virtual and erect image behind the mirror, i.e., on the opposite side of the mirror to which the object is placed.
