The correct statement for an object placed in front of a convex mirror is A) It will never form an inverted image.
A convex mirror always forms a virtual, erect, and diminished image, regardless of the position of the object (as long as it’s in front of the mirror). Since the image is always erect, it can never be inverted.
– Statement B is incorrect: When the object moves towards a convex mirror, the virtual image also moves towards the mirror (from the focus towards the pole) and increases in size, but it remains virtual and erect.
– Statement C is incorrect: Convex mirrors only form virtual images, never real or inverted images.
– Statement D is incorrect: Convex mirrors always form diminished images (smaller than the object), regardless of the object’s position.
