Is there ever a position where an object will not have an image produced in a convex mirror?

This will depend entirely on the geometry of the convex mirror. Only if the mirror is a spherical shell will the answer be "no."

Can the image produced by a convex mirror ever be larger than the image?
ONly virtual image is possible in case of convex mirror and the image has to be smaller than the object. So no chance for the image to be larger in any way.
Differentiate between concave and convex mirror?
The outer curved part is coated with mercury as the inner would reflect light in case of concave mirror. Whereas the inner is coated as to make the outer to act as reflector in case of convex mirror. Concave mirror can give both real and virtual images for a real object depending on the location of object. But convex on the other hand can give only virtual image with a real object irrespective of the position of the object. Next, concave mirror can be used as shaving mirror. Also used to converge the parallel beam of light. Convex mirror is best used as rear view mirror in case of vehicles.
Is it possible to find whether a mirror is plane concave or convex from the nature of image of an object?
Yes possible. If we place an object somehow close to the mirror and observe the image. If the image is of the same size as that of the object then it is a PLANE mirror If the image is magnified and erect, then it will be a concave mirror If the image is dimisnished then the mirror is convex in nature.
What type of mirror you should use to obtained diminished and virtual image of an object?
convex mirror
How will you distinguish between plane mirror convex mirror and concave mirror without touching?
If the image is erect and equal in size and it does not change its size and nature on moving the mirror closer or away from the object, the mirror is plane mirror. If the image is erect and magnified and it becomes inverted on moving the mirror away from the object, the mirror is concave mirror. If the image is erect and diminished and remains erect on moving the mirror away from the object, the mirror is convex mirror.

How would you describes the image formed by a convex mirror?
The image formed by a convex mirror is upright and larger than the object.
O What kind of image do you see using a convex mirror?
we see a diminished and virtual image in a convex mirror provided the object is not kept on the focus of the mirror.
How can you distinguish between a plane mirror concave mirror and a convex mirror by merely looking at the mirror?
If our image is real and inverted and smaller than the object ,then it is a concave mirror; if the image is virtual and erect and larger than the object,then it is a convex mirror; if the image is of the same size as of the object,it is a plane mirror. that is how we can distinguish or identify which of the given mirrors are what. BUT if the angle is very small you cannot tell Plane is flat, convex it curves outwards and concave it curves inwards.

How is an image seen in a plane mirror with the image in a convex mirror different?
Concave: a curved like a segment of the interior of a circle or hollow sphere; hollow and curved Convex:having a surface that is curved or rounded outwards plane-a flat mirror

Why is a convex mirror used as a driver's mirror?
A convex mirror is used as the wing mirror on a vehicle, not as the internal rear view mirror. The advantage of the convex mirror is that it gives a wider field of view, but it must be used with caution, because it distorts distances, making it hard to judge how near another object is.
What the difference between the virtual image created by a concave and plane and a convex mirror?
THough all are erect, in concave it will be enlarged in plane mirror of the same size as the object but in convex mirror it will be dimished
Describe the images formed in a concave mirror and in a convex mirror?
Here is a description of image formation in a concave mirror: if the object is beyond the center of curvature (F), the image formed is real and upside down; if the object is very near to the concave mirror, the image forms behind the mirror. It is virtual, upright, and bigger in size. Here is a description of image formation in a convex mirror: a convex mirror always produces a virtual, upright, and smaller image of the object at any distance in front of it. The image is located behind the mirror.
