A man standing in front of a special mirror finds his image having a very small head, a fat body and legs of normal size. What is the shape of: $(a)$ Top part of the mirror? $(b)$ Middle part of the mirror? $(c)$ Bottom part of the mirror? Give reasons for your choice.

(N/A) The nature of the image depends on the type of mirror used:
$1$. The top part of the mirror is $convex$, as it forms a virtual, erect, and diminished image of the head.
$2$. The middle part of the mirror is $concave$, as it forms a virtual, erect, and magnified image of the body.
$3$. The bottom part of the mirror is a $plane$ mirror, as it forms a virtual, erect image of the same size as the legs.

$10$. The power of a lens $(P)$ is calculated by the formula, $P = \frac{1}{f}$, where $f$ is the focal length of the lens in meters. A lens has a focal length of $-0.25 \ m$. Is it a convex lens or a concave lens? Explain your answer.

A convex mirror and a convex lens always form a virtual image. [True/False]
