Question

which best compares convex and concave mirrors?
convex mirrors produce only real images, and concave mirrors produce real and virtual images.
convex mirrors produce only virtual images, and concave mirrors produce real and virtual images.
concave mirrors produce only real images, and convex mirrors produce real and virtual images.
concave mirrors produce only virtual images, and convex mirrors produce real and virtual images.

Explanation:

Convex mirrors always form virtual images as the reflected rays diverge. Concave mirrors can form real images (when object is beyond focal point) or virtual images (when object is within focal point).

Answer:

Convex mirrors produce only virtual images, and concave mirrors produce real and virtual images.
