The passenger side-view mirror on an automobile often has the notation. "Objects seen in mirror are closer than they appear". Is the image really farther away than the object?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
No, the image is smaller and closer than the object
Option B is correct because the convex mirror used in the side-view mirror creates a smaller, upright, and virtual image that appears closer than the actual object.

An object 5 cm tall is placed from a concave spherical mirror which has a radius of curvature of . 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 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 .
Statement-B: The distance between an object and its real image is minimum when its magnification is -1. 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. If both the object and image are at infinite distance from a refracting telescope its magnifying power will be equal to
