  1. Question 1

    Q1. The image formed by a convex mirror is always:

    • A) Real, inverted, and magnified
    • B) Virtual, erect, and diminished
    • C) Real, erect, and same size
    • D) Virtual, inverted, and magnified

    Answer: Virtual, erect, and diminished

    Explanation: A convex (diverging) mirror always produces a virtual, erect, and diminished image regardless of where the object is placed, because reflected rays diverge and only appear to meet behind the mirror. This property makes convex mirrors useful as rear-view and security mirrors.
