Question

Complete the following statement. A plane mirror will produce a virtual image:
  1. when the object's distance is greater than the image's distance.
  2. when the object's distance is less than the image's distance.
  3. when the object is on the principal axis of the minor.
  4. when the rays converge at the focal point of the mirror.
  5. at all distances, from the mirror.

A
when the object is on the principal axis of the minor.
B
when the object's distance is greater than the image's distance.
C
when the object's distance is less than the image's distance.
D
at all distances, from the mirror.
E
when the rays converge at the focal point of the mirror.
Solution
Verified by Toppr

An image is said to be virtual, if the rays coming from the object do not actually intersect, but appear to meet at a point.

For any object placed in front of a plane mirror, all images are formed behind the mirror. Hence a plane mirror produces a virtual image at all distances from the mirror.
