Question

Assertion (A): Plane and convex mirrors cannot produce real images under any circumstance.
Reason (R): A virtual image cannot serve as an object to produce a real image.

Select the correct option: A). Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of the Assertion (A). B). Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of the Assertion (A). C). Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false. D). Assertion (A) is false and Reason (R) is also false.

The correct answer is Assertion (A) is false and Reason (R) is also false.. **SOLUTION** **Assertion (A) is False:** A plane or convex mirror CAN produce a real image if the incident light rays are strongly converging towards a point behind the mirror (which acts as a "virtual object"). In such a case, the reflected rays will actually meet in front of the mirror to form a real image. **Reason (R) is False:** In a multiple optical element system, a virtual image formed by the first element can absolutely serve as a real object for a subsequent optical element. Therefore, both statements are physically false.
