A person sees his virtual image by holding a mirror very close to the face. When he moves the mirror away from his face, the image becomes inverted. What type of mirror he is using?

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

Convex mirror

Option B (Convex mirror) is correct because convex mirrors always produce virtual and erect images, and as the object moves away, the image size decreases, which can be interpreted as inverting at a large distance.

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

\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. 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
