Show answer Hide answer
Answer
Option (iv) is correct.

Explanation

  • In figure (a), the image is as far behind as the object is in front — a plane mirror.
  • In figure (b), the image is closer and smaller — a convex mirror.
  • So (a) is a plane mirror and (b) is a convex mirror.
Figure (a) shows a plane mirror and figure (b) shows a convex mirror.
