Question

The image of an object is found to be upright and reduced in size. What type of mirror is used to produce such an image?

Concave

Convex

Both mirrors

None of the above

Solution

If the object is closer then the focal length, a concave mirror will form a virtual, upright image.

Image is larger and upright.

If the object is outside the focal length, a concave mirror will form a real, inverted image.

Image is real, inverted and smaller.

But, for the convex mirror the image is always virtual, upright and it is smaller than the object

Answer Convex
