NEET Physics Question - Ray Optics - Reflection by Spherical Mirrors

Assertion (A): A dentist uses a concave mirror to examine a small cavity.

Reason (R): A concave mirror always forms a magnified and erect image.

Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)

Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)

(A) is true but (R) is false

Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

Assertion (A) is true; dentists use concave mirrors for magnified virtual images.
Reason (R) is false as a concave mirror forms magnified and erect images only when the object is between the pole and focal point. It can also form real and inverted images.
Thus, (A) is true and (R) is false.
