A. As the object’s distance is decreased, the image distance is decreased.
B. As the object’s distance is decreased, the image size is increased.
C. Whatever the position of the object in front of a convex mirror, the image is always located behind the convex mirror.
D. Whatever the position of the object in front of a convex mirror, the image is not upright.

Answer 1

The false statement is B. As the object’s distance is decreased, the image size is increased.

Step-by-step explanation:

The false statement with regards to image formation in a convex mirror is:

B. As the object’s distance is decreased, the image size is increased.

In reality, as the object's distance is decreased in front of a convex mirror, the image size also decreases. The image formed by a convex mirror is always virtual, upright, and smaller than the object, regardless of the object's position.
