Upto what maximum distance from the pole the image in a convex mirror can be obtained? what will be the location of object then ?
Select the correct option:
A mirror forms a virtual image (diminished) of an object, whatever be the position of object:
AB is the object, A1B1 is its image. MM' is the position of the mirror. Complete the ray diagram and find the position of the center of curvature and focus of the mirror. Also, measure the focal length.
