Why convex mirror is preferred as driver's mirror?
convex mirrors are preferred as drivers mirror because they reflect more area than plain or concave mirror.
What are the types of lenses and mirrors?
1. plain mirror2. concave mirror 4. concave lens3.convex mirror 5.convex lens
How does a concave mirror work?
A concave mirror is a spherical mirror which is curved inward, where the inside surface is reflective. They work by reflecting the light captured into the centre of the mirror, creating a focal point in the centre of the mirror.
Why can you see your reflection in an unbroken mirror but cannot see your reflection in a broken mirror?
An unbroken mirror, assuming it is plain and flat, reflects all the light that hits it back to you. If the mirror is broken, the pieces are bent and therefore you may be able to see parts of object but not in its entirety. The light that hits the mirror is reflected in different directions and is not directed into your eyes.
Would the mirror equation work for plane mirrors?
No, it will not, this is because a plane mirror has no focal point. It's rays never converge at a single point like a concave mirror, and therefore it has no focal point The mirror equation is 1/f=1/di + 1/do, where f is the focal point, di is the distance of the image from the mirror, and do is the distance of the reflected object from the mirror. Since focal point is required for the equation, it can't work. Hope this helps.
Why is it possible to take your own photo in front of a plain mirror?
because the image formed in a plain mirror is not inveted
Is plain mirror also an spherical mirror of infinite radius?
Yes
Which is correct plane mirror or plain mirror?
A plane mirror is a flat, as opposed to convex or concave, mirror.A plain mirror is just a ordinary mirror as used in a household. These are usually flat mirrors so they are also plane mirrors.Many households have small bathroom mirrors which magnify in this case they would be concave plain mirrors and not concave plane mirrors
What is the name of the image formed by a plain mirror?
reflection?
Why convex mirror is preferred as driver's mirror?
convex mirrors are preferred as drivers mirror because they reflect more area than plain or concave mirror.
What type of image does a plain mirror produce?
real and upright image
How the image formed by plain mirror has same size as the object?
a plain mirror does not have any convex or concave curve and thus the light that is reflected does not change in shape.the object never changes, but the image (which is the object seen in the mirror) is not tangible and is only a picture of the object.so the image and the object are the same because there is no distortion in a plain mirror.falsetrue - apexBecause of the first law of thermodynamics.
Why letters appear laterally inverted in plain mirror?
this happens because they are plane
What are the types of lenses and mirrors?
1. plain mirror2. concave mirror 4. concave lens3.convex mirror 5.convex lens
How does a concave mirror work?
A concave mirror is a spherical mirror which is curved inward, where the inside surface is reflective. They work by reflecting the light captured into the centre of the mirror, creating a focal point in the centre of the mirror.
What are the characteristics of image formed by plain mirror?
same size, upright, and same distance
When you stand 1 meter in front of a full length plain mirror. you image is?
Reflected.
