A person standing in front of a mirror finds his image larger than himself. This implies that the mirror is
- Aconcave
- Bplane
- Cconvex
- Dcylindrical with bulging side outwards
- ENone of the above/More than one of the above
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (a) concave
Explanation
A concave mirror can form a magnified image when the object is placed between the mirror and its focus, giving a virtual, erect and enlarged image.
A plane mirror always gives a same-size image, while a convex mirror always gives a diminished image, so neither can enlarge.
