Subjective Type

A man standing in front of a special mirror finds his image having a very small head, a fat body and legs of normal size. What is the shape of: (a) top part of the mirror? (b) middle part of the mirror? (c) bottom part of the mirror? Give reasons for your choice.

Solution

(a) Convex - Because a convex mirror forms a diminished image when the object is placed near it.

(b) Concave- Because a concave mirror forms an enlarged image when the object is placed near it.

(c) Plane- Because a plane mirror forms an image of same size as the object.
