Question

An object is placed on the left side of a convex spherical mirror, and the reflected rays form an image of the object. Which statement describes the path of the light rays?

Light rays appear to diverge from positions on the left side of the mirror.

Light rays converge on the left side of the mirror.

Light rays appear to diverge from positions on the right side of the mirror

Light rays converge on the right side of the mirror.

Light rays converge on the right side of the mirror.

Explanation / Answer

Correct option is Light rays appear to diverge from positions on the right side of the mirror

In convex mirror, the reflected rays diverge after reflection.

Object is placed left side of mirror, so image is formed on right side of mirror.
