How would you describe an image produced by a convex mirror?

An image produced by a convex mirror is always upright and smaller than the actual object. This is due to the way light rays converge and diverge when they reflect off the surface of a convex mirror. Rather than converging to form a real image, which is common in concave mirrors, convex mirrors cause light rays to diverge. When these diverging rays are extended backward, they seem to originate from a point behind the mirror, creating a virtual image.

This image appears upright because the lines of sight to the image maintain the same relative orientation as the object. The reduction in size occurs because the virtual image produced is located further away than the object, making it appear smaller to the observer. Therefore, describing the image from a convex mirror as upright and smaller accurately reflects the characteristics of the image produced by this type of mirror.
