Question

(i) Observe the image of a distant object, say a distant tree, in a plane mirror.

Could you see a full-length image?

(ii) Try with plane mirrors of different sizes. Did you see the entire object in the
image​

Answer 1

A plane, convex, or concave mirror always forms a virtual image.

Explanation:

• A convex mirror forms a smaller and virtual image of an object irrespective of its position.
• Therefore, we can say that a distant object can be seen in a convex mirror.
• If a building is quite tall, then its full-length image can be seen from a large distance by using the convex mirror.
• A convex or concave mirror always forms a virtual image.
