If a convergent beam of light is incident on a plane mirror then what type of image will it form?
Real image
Does a telescope form a real image?
Yes. Both the objective lens in a refracting telescope and the main mirror in a reflecting telescope form real images at the prime focus. A frame of photo film or a CCD placed at that spot will capture the image.
Why is a concave mirror better for gathering light than a plane mirror on a telescope?
-- A concave mirror gathers the light and bunches it up all in one place, called the "focus" of the mirror. There's a "real image" at that place, and you can capture it with a piece of ground glass, tissue, photo-film, or light-sensitive device at that place. -- A plane mirror doesn't gather anything. It just kind of sends the light back toward where it came from. It doesn't form any real image, and there's nothing to capture.
How can you distinguish between a plane mirror concave mirror and a convex mirror by merely looking at the mirror?
If our image is real and inverted and smaller than the object ,then it is a concave mirror; if the image is virtual and erect and larger than the object,then it is a convex mirror; if the image is of the same size as of the object,it is a plane mirror. that is how we can distinguish or identify which of the given mirrors are what. BUT if the angle is very small you cannot tell Plane is flat, convex it curves outwards and concave it curves inwards.
What are the properties of images seen in a concave mirror if the object is farther from than the focal point?
The image formed is real, inverted, diminished and on the same side of the mirror as the object is.
What type of image does a plain mirror produce?
real and upright image
Is it plain mirror or concave mirror producing magnified real image?
A plane (flat) mirror reflects an image which is the same size and shape, and colour as the object in front of the mirror. A concave mirror can produce a magnified image. If the image is in front of the mirror it is a real image; if behind it is a virtual (non-real) image. A real image can be cast upon a white the best) surface
Which lens does not form a real image?
concave lens does not form a rel image and convex MIRROR does not form a real image
What are the three use of a plain mirror?
to see our face to make real image to make virtual image
Does a Convex mirror form a virtual or real image?
A virtual image.
When does a convex mirror form real image?
never, image is virtual.
Can plane mirror form real image?
No, it cannot.
Which type of mirror can form a real image?
Concave mirrors
Can a plane mirror form real and inverted image?
no,but if we make some changes it can be form real and inverted
What is the focal length of concave mirror to form real image?
15cm
If a convergent beam of light is incident on a plane mirror then what type of image will it form?
Real image
Which does not form a real image?
(1)A plane mirror (2)A convex mirror (3)A concave lens
