If an image formed after reflection from a mirror is virtual and high diminished, then the position of the object and type of mirror is:

Correct option is D

The correct answer is (D)  ​infinity and convex mirror

• ​A convex mirror forms a virtual and highly diminished image when an object is placed at ​infinity.
  

Information booster:

Convex mirrors are also called diverging mirrors because they spread out light rays after reflection.

A convex mirror always forms a virtual, erect, and diminished image, no matter where the object is placed.

• A convex mirror is a type of spherical mirror with its reflecting surface curved outward.
• Regardless of the object's position, the image formed by a convex mirror is always:
  • Virtual (cannot be captured on a screen).
  • Erect (upright).
  • Diminished (smaller in size compared to the object).

• The image is always located between the focus and the pole of the mirror.

Applications of Convex Mirrors:

• Rearview Mirrors in Vehicles: Provide a wide field of view.
• Street Light Reflectors: Direct light over a larger area.
• Parking Lot Reflectors: Assist in monitoring surroundings.
