Solution
An object is placed in front of a convex mirror. Its image is formed behind the mirror and its position varies according to the object's distance.
Explanation:
An object's virtual image is always created when it is placed in front of a convex mirror, as depicted in the figure. The size of the convex mirror's image is independent of the object's proximity to the mirror. Always smaller than the original and placed behind the mirror, these pictures are imaginary.
