Can flat mirrors produce a real image?

No, flat mirrors produce virtual images. The image appears to be behind the mirror and is not a true representation of the object's size or distance from the mirror.


A convex lens can produce a larger virtual image if the object is inside the focal point True or false?

False. A convex lens will produce a smaller, upright, and virtual image if the object is placed inside the focal point.

A convex lens can produce a real or a virtual image.?

A convex lens can produce a real image when the object is beyond the focal point and the light rays converge at a point to form an image. It can also produce a virtual image when the object is placed within the focal point and the diverging light rays appear to come from a point behind the lens.


Why is negative sign associated with virtual image?

A negative sign is associated with a virtual image because the light rays do not actually converge at the location of the virtual image. Instead, they appear to diverge from a point behind the mirror or lens, creating the virtual image. Mathematically, this distance is represented as negative to indicate the direction of the virtual image.


Is using a plane mirror to form virtual image one of its uses?

A plane mirror forms a virtual image. If it's reflected, then the light does not come from the image, and it is virtual.
