An virtual image is an image that is formed not by the intersection of two light beams, but it appears that these light beams intersect at some point. The optics of convex mirror doesn't allow the light beams to intersect at any position of object in relation to the mirror. Thus one can never get any real image using convex mirror

Yes it is possible as we keep the object in between the focus F and pole P of the mirror then the image will be a virtual one. So shaving mirror is a concave mirror with larger focal length at least 1 ft.

In a concave lens the object always forms a virtual image. The convex lens also forms a virtual image.


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.

Is it plain mirror or concave mirror producing magnified real image?

A plane (flat) mirror reflects an image which is the same size and shape, and colour as the object in front of the mirror. A concave mirror can produce a magnified image. If the image is in front of the mirror it is a real image; if behind it is a virtual (non-real) image. A real image can be cast upon a white the best) surface


What the difference between the virtual image created by a concave and plane and a convex mirror?
