- Convex mirror: If the outer surface of the spherical mirror is the reflecting surface then it is called a convex mirror. It is also called the diverging mirror.
- The nature of the image formed by a convex mirror does not depend on the distance of the object from the mirror. These images are always virtual, smaller than the object, and situated behind the mirror.
- Concave mirror: If the inner surface of the spherical mirror is the reflecting surface, then it is called a concave mirror. It is also called a focusing mirror/converging mirror.
- The size of the image produced by these mirrors can be larger or smaller than the object, depending upon the distance of the object from the mirror.
- The concave mirror can form both real as well as virtual images of any object.
EXPLANATION:
- The convex mirror always forms a virtual image that lies between pole and focus of the mirror. A virtual image is always erect.
- The convex mirror always forms the image which is smaller than the size of the object.
- When an object is placed in front of a convex mirror at a point between infinity and the pole of the mirror. The image formed is virtual and diminished. So option 4 is correct.
