उत्तर
We are given three different types of mirrors. To identify each one of them we will take an object and place it in different positions. Accordingly, we will get the positions of the image and nature of the image for each mirror, through which mirrors can be identified.
| Properties of the image formed | Plane mirror | Concave mirror | Convex mirror |
| Real or virtual | Virtual | Real except when the object is near the mirror | Virtual |
| Erector inverted | Always erect | Inverted when real and erect when virtual | Always erect |
| Size of image | Image formed is of the same size as the object | Diminished for certain positions and enlarged for others | Always diminished |
