Answer 1

Answer:

The statement, "It gives a real image" is incorrect.

Explanation:

The properties of a convex mirror are as follows:

• A convex mirror always forms an erect image.
• It gives a wide field of view which is why it is often used in rear side mirrors of vehicles.
• It forms a virtual image.
• It always gives a diminished image.
• Some examples where convex mirrors are used are optical instruments, side mirrors of cars, calling bells, and so on.

Hence, the statement, "It gives a real image" is incorrect.
