If your image appears to be erect, no matter how far you stand from a mirror, the mirror is likely to be:
General KnowledgePhysics
- APlane
- BConcave
- CConvex
- DEither plane or convex
Explanation
A plane mirror always forms a virtual, erect, same-sized image whatever the distance of the object, and a convex mirror always forms a virtual, erect, diminished image whatever the distance of the object. A concave mirror, by contrast, gives an inverted image whenever the object lies beyond its focal length. Since both a plane mirror and a convex mirror always produce erect images, the mirror in question could be either of the two.
