Question
In the figure shown, the image of a real object O is formed at point I. AB is the principal axis of the mirror. The mirror must be:
- concave & placed towards right of I
- concave & placed towards left of I A
- convex & placed towards right of I
- convex & placed towards left of I.
The correct answer is: convex & placed towards left of I.
The image is erect hence, mirror must be between object & image. Virtual image of real object is diminished, hence mirror is convex.
