To Explain: The properties of the image seen in the single convex mirror.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
A convex mirror always produces a virtual image which is located behind the mirror. When the object is located far away from the convex mirror, the image is upright and located at the focal point.
A convex mirror is spherical and curved towards the outer edge. When the object approaches the convex mirror, the image also approaches the mirror and the image grows gradually to its height and equals to that of the object.
1. The images are always right side up.
2. Always produces virtual images.
3. Images formed behind the mirror.
4. Images are smaller than the object.
Conclusion:
Convex mirrors always produce virtual images whereas concave mirror produces both the real and virtual images.
