(a) You have learnt that plane and convex mirrors produce virtual images of objects. Can they produce real images under some circumstances? Explain.
Answer
No.
Explanation
Solution
Plane and convex mirrors diverge light rays, causing them to appear to originate from a point behind the mirror, thus always forming virtual images. Real images require actual convergence of light rays, which these mirrors do not produce for any object position.
