उत्तर
In the case of a convex mirror, the reflected rays diverge and do not meet at a point after reflection. They appear to come from a point’ F on the principal axis.
The type of mirror used is a CONVEX mirror.

One half of a convex lens of focal length 10 cm is covered with a black paper. Can such a lens produce an image of a complete object placed at a distance of 30 cm from the lens? Draw a ray diagram to justify your answer. A 4 cm tall object is placed perpendicular to its principal axis of a convex lens of focal length 20 cm. The distance of the object from the lens is 15 cm. Find the nature, position and the size of the image.
