Barbara places an object in front of a mirror. The mirror produces an image that is inverted, real, and smaller than the object. Which kind(s) of mirror could Barbara be using?

• convex, because concave and plane mirrors produce only virtual images

• concave, because plane and convex mirrors produce only upright virtual images

• concave or convex, because both types of mirrors produce images that are inverted and real

• convex or plane, because both types of mirrors produce an image that is smaller than the object
