If you look into a mirror and find that the image (your reflection) is smaller than you, then the type of the mirror is:

A. Concave mirror

B. Convex mirror

C. Plano-concave mirror

D. Plane mirror

Answer: Option B

Solution (By Examveda Team)

A convex mirror bends light as it reflects the light, and the farther away a point is from the center, the more the light is bent. As a result, an image formed in a convex mirror is smaller than an image in a plane (flat) mirror.
