Detailed Solution

The convex mirror can always form virtual images.
A convex mirror has a reflecting surface bulged towards the source of light. The images formed by the convex mirror are always virtual, upright, and diminished. If the object is placed at infinity, the image will be formed at the focus. It is so because the virtual image is formed behind the mirror. Also, since the image is formed behind the mirror, the convex mirror doesn’t form a real image of the object.
