(a) The magnification produced by a convex mirror is always less than one(b) A virtual, erect, same-sized image can be obtained using a plane mirror(c) A virtual, erect, magnified image can be formed using a concave mirror(d) A real, inverted, same-sized image can be formed using a convex mirror

Answer 1

I think it is (d).......

Answer 2

All of the following statements are correct except (d) A real, inverted, same-sized image can be formed using a convex mirror.

Explanation:

Convex mirror is a spherical mirror whose outer curved side acts as reflecting surface for light rays. It is also also diverging mirror.

• A convex mirror always produce diminished images which means size of image is smaller than object. So, the magnification is always less than one.

• A plane mirror always form laterally inverted, erect image behind the mirror, which means it forms virtual images.

• Concave mirror can form real or virtual, magnified or diminished and erect or inverted images.

• A convex mirror always form image behind the mirror which means a virtual and erect image.
