उत्तर
For a convex mirror,
Focal length, f > 0
Position of object, u < 0
From mirror formula, we have
`1/f=1/v+1/u=>1/v=1/f-1/u`
`=>1/v>0`
∴v>0
This means that the image formed by a convex lens is always behind the mirror and hence, virtual.

Use the mirror equation to deduce that the virtual image produced by a convex mirror is always diminished in size and is located between the focus and the pole.
A point object O is placed at a distance of 15cm from a convex lens L of focal length 1 Ocm as shown in Figure 5 below.
