Can you get a real image using a plane mirror?

No, to get a real image from a mirror it must be able to focus light (which flat mirrors can't do).


When a wave reflects its angle of incidence equals its angle of reflection?

If you're talking about a flat mirror, yes. Both angles are measured in relation to the mirror's normal. A flat mirror's normal is the perpendicular line that extends from the point of contact from the beam of light on the mirror outward.


A ray of light strikes a flat surface?

Flat turns around and sues Ray for every nickel he's worth. That'll teach 'em.


What can happen to you when direct sunlight strikes the mirror and reflect your eyes?

The problem is it is DANGEROUS to look directly at the disk of the Sun. Doing so may damage the retina at the back of your eye and can make you go blind.Reflecting the light from the sun into your eyes from a mirror is the same as looking at it directly and is just as dangerous.Moreover, if the mirror is part of a telescope (ie not flat), then the Sunlight is concentrated (like setting light to paper with Sunlight focused with a magnifying glass) and this will IMMEDIATELY blind you.

Convex - which is the flat or the plain mirror and it has the lesser lights to receivebut its has the more light intensity.Concave - which is the curve mirror where the lights to receive is more than the convexbut it has the less light intensity.


What is the defition for plane flat mirror?

A plane flat mirror, as opposed to a concave or convex mirror, is flat and therefore has no focal point. Think of the mirror in your bathroom.


If light hits a mirror at an angle it reflects back at?

If light hits a mirror at an angle it reflects back at you but it will make the image look bigger or smaller (if the mirror is concave or convex). If it is a flat plane mirror the image is the same but if your holding something it will be on the opposite side
