Question

Explain why convex mirrors can only produce virtual images. Please use at least 2 content related sentences. (ref: p.471-481)

Answer 1

Convex mirrors can only produce virtual images because the focal point and the center of curvature of the convex mirror are imaginary points and that cannot be reached.

It is usually produced by a convex mirror because the focal point and the center of curvature of the convex mirror are imaginary points which can't be reached.
