If an object far away from a convex mirror moves towards the mirror, the image also moves. Does it move faster, slower or at the same speed as compared to the object?

slower than the object, as a convex mirror is a diverging mirror , and if I did any mistake please exuce me

The image moves slower as compared to the object.
Explanation:
- If the object is far from a convex mirror, the simulated image is similar to the focal point.
- As the object is moving towards the mirror, the reflection moves backwards towards the mirror.
- Thus the object travels a greater distance than the image at an equivalent interval of time.
- So the image is moving slower than the object itself.
The object image moves slower relative to the target. It can be explained using the formula mirror.
We know the distance of object (u) is positive for a convex mirror, the distance of image (v) is negative, and the focal length is also negative
As u = +ve
> f
Hence the picture is always created within the mirror focal length.
Thus, the distance the image moves is much slower than the distance the object is moving.
