What is a virtual image?
In optics, a virtual image is an image in which the outgoing rays from a point on the object never actually intersect at a visable point. However, if these rays were stretched out they would intersect at a point behind the mirror/surface.
What is an example of a convex mirror?
A plane mirror is a mirror with a planar reflective surface. For light rays striking a plane mirror, the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence. Thus a collimated beam of light does not spread out after reflection from a plane mirror, except for diffraction effects.Insertformulahere==Images== A plane mirror makes images of objects in front of it; these images appear to be behind the plane in which the mirror lies. A straight line drawn from part of an object to the corresponding part of its image makes a right angle with, and is bisected by, the surface of the plane mirror. The image formed by Insertformulahere==Images==a plane mirror is always virtual (meaning that the light rays do not actually come from the image), upright, and of the same shape and size as the object it is reflecting. A virtual image is a copy of an object formed at the location from which the light rays appear to come. However, the image is a laterally-inverted "mirror image" of the object. If a person is reflected in a plane mirror, the image of his right hand appears to be the left hand of the image.
What type of image does a Convex mirror produce and Why?
A convex mirror produces a virtual image, because the principle light rays incident on the mirror surface from the object must pass through the focal point on the other side of the mirror (virtually), and so the image appears at a depth behind the mirror's surface. The three principle rays that form the focused image are: 1. The ray from the top of the object, parallel to the line passing through the center of the convex mirror, must pass through the focal point behind the mirror's surface. 2. The ray that passes from the top of the object and through the focal point in front of the mirror, comes through the mirror (virtually) parallel to the center line. 3. The ray that passes from the top of the object to the point where the surface of the mirror and the center line intersect, the reflection of which is traced back through the mirror's surface at the same angle as the reflected angle. The place behind the mirror where these rays intersect is the placement of the virtual image.
Why can you see ourself in the mirror?
You are able to see yourself in a mirror because the light rays are reflected 180 degrees back at you. A mirror image can be considered a light print of you. Mirrors that are not just flat surfaces will reflect light at different angles.
How is an image seen in a plane mirror with the image in a convex mirror different?
Concave: a curved like a segment of the interior of a circle or hollow sphere; hollow and curved Convex:having a surface that is curved or rounded outwards plane-a flat mirror
What has a mirror that collects light which is reflected to the eyepiece to show the image?
A Reflecting Telescope.
Which describes a reflected image in a plane mirror?
the image is right-left reversed and about as far away from the mirror as the reflected object
What is the difference between object distance and image distance?
image distance is the distance from the point of incidence on the mirror, the where the image is reflected to.object distance is the distance from the actual object being reflected to the point of incidence on the mirror where it's reflected as an image.
Why do you see your reflection when you look in a mirror and not when you look at a book?
The image is reflected from a reflective object, in this case [your mirror], as a Book is not a mirror, it is not reflected.
Definition of plane mirror?
A plane mirror is a mirror which is completely flat, easier for your image to be reflected.
How does the Newtonian telescope produce images of celestial bodies?
There is a concave main mirror at the low end of the telescope that focusses the image at a point above it. But before the rays arrive at the focus, they are reflected by a flat mirror set at 45-degrees so that the image is formed outside the side of the telescope, which is where the eyepiece is put.
How do you see your image reflected in a mirror?
You see it when your image strikes light and the light bounces off you then off the mirror to your eyes.
What is your image in a mirror?
A reflected duplication that appears identical but in reverse.
Which part of a refracting telescope forms the image?
Eyepiece, Primary Mirror, Secondary Mirror, Prime Focus.
Is using a plane mirror to form virtual image one of its uses?
A plane mirror forms a virtual image. If it's reflected, then the light does not come from the image, and it is virtual.
Why can you see your reflected in mirror but not in a brick wall?
you can see a image on a mirror because energy bounce off
How is your image in a plane mirror different from the real you?
The image is virtual and appears to be as much behind the mirror as the distance a person is away from the mirror.
