Question

pretest: unit 2
three light rays are traced, along with their corresponding reflected rays. which statement below best describes the image formed?
a. the image is enlarged.
b. the image is right - side - up.
c. the image is virtual.
d. no image is formed.

Explanation:

When light rays diverge after reflection from a spherical mirror as shown, no real - image is formed. Since the rays do not actually converge at a point in space, a virtual image is not formed either in the traditional sense for this case. When the reflected rays are extended backwards, they do not meet at a single point to form a virtual image. So, no image is formed.

Answer:

D. No image is formed.
