Assertion: We cannot produce a real image by plane or convex mirrors under any circumstances.
Reason: The focal length of a convex mirror is always taken negative.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

If both Assertion and Reason are false

Option D (If both Assertion and Reason are false) is correct because both statements are incorrect. Real images can be formed by concave mirrors, and the focal length of a convex mirror is positive.

An object 5 cm tall is placed

\mathrm{1}\,\,\mathrm{m}

from a concave spherical mirror which has a radius of curvature of

\mathrm{20}\,\,\,\mathrm{cm}

. The size of the image is Red colour is used for danger signals because A ray of light is incident on the hypotenuse of a right-angled prism after travelling parallel to the base inside the prism. If

\mathrm{\mu }

is the refractive index of the material of the prism, the maximum value of the base angle for which light is totally reflected from the hypotenuse is Statement-A: The minimum distance between an object and its real image formed by a convex lens is

2{f}

.

Statement-B: The distance between an object and its real image is minimum when its magnification is -1. If both the object and image are at infinite distance from a refracting telescope its magnifying power will be equal to Assertion (A): In Snell's law

\mu=\frac{\sin i}{\sin r}

i

is always angle of incidence.

Reason (R):

\mu=\frac{\sin i}{\sin r}

is applicable one medium in air (or vacuum).
