Assertion The size of the mirror affect the nature of the image. Reason Small mirrors always form a virtual image.
- A. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
- B. Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
- C. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
- D. Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
Step-by-step solution
The assertion is incorrect because the size of a mirror does not determine the nature (real or virtual) of the image; instead, the nature depends on the type of mirror (concave or convex) and the object's position relative to the focal point. The reason is incorrect because small mirrors, such as concave mirrors, can form real images when the object is placed beyond the focal point. Only convex mirrors always form virtual images regardless of size. Thus both statements are false.
