Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
If we use the Concave mirror, the parallel incident rays that fall on the mirror’s surface get reflected and converge at a certain point known as the focal point. When we place this mirror too close to an object, we get a magnified and virtual image; in this case, the reflected rays appear to be converging to a point, but actually, they are diverging.
But on the other hand, in the case of a convex mirror, the incident ray which emerges from the same point reflects off and moves in a different direction. As a result, the light rays do not intersect on the mirror’s object side and create a virtual image of the real object. Thus we can conclude that a convex mirror is a diverging mirror.
