What characteristic does the image formed by a convex mirror always have?

  1. Clear and detailed

  2. Virtual and upright

  3. Real and enlarged

  4. Inverted and reduced

The correct answer is: Virtual and upright

The image formed by a convex mirror is always virtual and upright. This occurs because convex mirrors diverge light, causing the rays to appear to originate from a point behind the mirror. As a result, the images produced are not real images that can be projected onto a screen, but rather virtual images that can be seen by looking into the mirror. These images are also upright, meaning they are oriented in the same direction as the object being reflected. This characteristic is a fundamental property of convex mirrors and is important for applications like vehicle side mirrors, where seeing a wider field of view while ensuring the images remain upright is beneficial for safety.
