Option 2 : Only 2

The correct answer is Only 2.

  • Only a virtual image can be formed by a convex mirror because mirrors can not form real images also the image formed is usually diminished in nature because of the mirror curvature.
  • A convex mirror or diverging mirror is a curved mirror in which the reflective surface bulges towards the light source.
  • Convex mirrors reflect light outwards, therefore they are not used to focus light.
  • Such mirrors always form a virtual image, since the focal point (F) and the center of curvature (2F) are both imaginary points "inside" the mirror, that cannot be reached.
