An object is placed between infinity and the pole of a convex mirror. Draw a ray diagram and also state the position, the relative size and the nature of the image formed.
When an object is placed between infinity and the pole of a convex mirror, then the ray diagram for the formation of the image is given below:-
Position of the image: Between pole, $P$ and focus, $F$.
Relative size of the image: Diminished.
Nature of the image: Virtual and Erect.
