Question

Mama saw her face on the outer surface of a stainless-steel spoon. The image was of the same orientation as her face. What is the nature of the image?

  1. Real and inverted
  2. Virtual and upright
  3. Real and upright
  4. Virtual and inverted

hintHint:

The back of the spoon acts as a convex mirror.

The correct answer is: Virtual and upright


    • When we look at the back of the spoon, we get an upright image of ourselves as the reflective curved surface of the metal acts like a diverging mirror/convex mirror. A convex mirror always forms a virtual and upright image.

    An incident ray goes along the reflecting surface. The angle of reflection is ____ degrees.

    When the angle along the reflecting surface , the incident ray is perpendicular to the reflecting surface. We know by the first law of reflection that angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection . Here, the angle of incidence is 90 degrees so the angle of reflection will also be 90 degrees.
