What type of image is formed by a convex mirror?
Correct Answer: Virtual and upright image
- Step 1: Understand what a convex mirror is. A convex mirror is a curved mirror that bulges outward.
- Step 2: Know that when light rays hit a convex mirror, they reflect outward.
- Step 3: Realize that the reflected light rays appear to come from a point behind the mirror.
- Step 4: Understand that this point is where the virtual image is formed.
- Step 5: Remember that a virtual image cannot be projected onto a screen because it is not real.
- Step 6: Note that the virtual image formed by a convex mirror is always upright, meaning it is oriented the same way as the object.
