No matter how far you stand from a mirror, your image appears erect. The mirror is likely to be
(a) Plane
(b) Concave
(c) Convex
(d) Either plane or convex
solution:
Option (d) is correct. A convex mirror always gives a virtual and erect image of smaller size of the object placed in front of it. Similarly, a plane mirror will always give a virtual and erect image of same size as that of the object placed in front of it. Therefore, the given mirror could be either plane or convex.
