To choose: The correct option.
Answer to Problem 4STP
The correct option is (D).
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
A curved mirror is a mirror with a curved surface which reflects. The surface can be convex or concave. Many curved mirrors have surfaces shaped like part of a sphere but often other shapes are used in optical devices.
Only virtual images generate plane mirrors and convex mirrors. Only a concave mirror is capable of creating a true image and this only happens when the object is placed a distance greater than a focal length from the surface of the mirror.
Conclusion:
Hence, the correct answer is (D).
