What else can I help you with?
When viewed in a spherical mirror the image of a setting is a virtual image. The image lies 12cm behind the mirror .Is this mirror concave or convex?
The mirror in this case is a convex mirror, as virtual images are formed by convex mirrors.
What type of image does a convex mirror formed?
A convex mirror forms a virtual, upright, and diminished image of the object placed in front of it. The image is also located behind the mirror.
The image formed by a convex mirror?
The image formed by the convex mirror is virtual, erect and diminished.
When does a convex mirror form real image?
A convex mirror always forms a virtual image, meaning that the light rays appear to be coming from a point behind the mirror. Thus, a real image is never formed by a convex mirror.
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.

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.
Can a convex form an image that is enlarged real and upright?
No, a convex mirror can only produce virtual images that are diminished and upright. The image formed by a convex mirror is always virtual and located behind the mirror.
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.

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.
Why can't a convex mirror create a real image?
Because the focal point of the convex mirror will always be at a 'virtual' place. Convex mirrors focus the image at a definite point.
What happens as you move closer to a convex mirror?
As you move closer to a convex mirror, your image will appear smaller and more upright. The image will also move further away from the mirror.
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 convex mirrors be uses as a shaving mirror?
No, this is because the image formed in convex mirror is smaller and the shape of the image is irregular. So if we use convex mirrors as a shaving mirror, there are chances of getting hurt whle shaving.
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.
