Answer 2

Answer:

(a) The mirror which can give an “erect and enlarged image” of an object is a concave mirror.

• This can be achieved by holding the object between the “pole and the principle focus” of the mirror.
• A concave mirror is a mirror that is curved inwards at the center. The image is a real image.

(b) The mirror which can give an “erect and diminished image” of an object is a convex mirror.

• A convex mirror is the mirror with a bulging reflective surface.
• A convex mirror produces a virtual image and erect image but diminished in size.
