An object is placed in front of a convex mirror of focal length . Find the maximum and minimum distance of two object from the mirror such that the image is real and magnified.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Option B () is correct because for a convex mirror, a real and magnified image is not possible. However, if the question intended to ask for the range of object distances for a virtual and diminished image, then the object distance ranges from to is incorrect, as the image is always virtual and diminished for all object distances in front of a convex mirror.
