Understanding Image Formation by Convex Mirrors

The video tutorial explores the image formation by a convex mirror. It demonstrates that the image formed is virtual, smaller, and erect, regardless of the object's position. A candle and a paper screen are used to observe these characteristics, highlighting that the image cannot be captured on the screen, confirming its virtual nature.

What is the purpose of the paper screen in the experiment setup?

• To block external light

• To magnify the image

• To capture the image formed by the mirror

• To reflect the light from the candle

When the candle is close to the convex mirror, how is the image described?

• Real, smaller, and erect

• Virtual, smaller, and erect

• Virtual, larger, and inverted

• Real, larger, and inverted

What happens to the image when the candle is moved far away from the convex mirror?

• The image remains virtual, smaller, and erect

• The image becomes real and larger

• The image disappears completely

• The image becomes real and inverted

Which of the following is a consistent characteristic of images formed by a convex mirror?

• They are always inverted

• They are always virtual

• They are always larger

• They are always real

Why is the image not formed on the screen in the experiment?

• Because the mirror is not reflective

• Because the screen is too far

• Because the image is virtual

• Because the image is real
