The way light is reflected is different in a concave mirror depending on the position and distance from the object. when light hits the concave mirror when it is near the object, the rays are scattered and it forms a virtual image, i.e it does not come on the screen. the image will be erect and higly magnified. When it is taken further from the object, the image becomes inverted and real, i.e it can be seen on a screen, and will still be magnified.

How do we see images in a mirror?
Light 'bouncing' off the subject is reflected back by the mirror.
What is an illustration of light being reflected?
When light hits your body it reflects off your body, if it didn't then you wouldn't be able to see your self.
Where does Moon light come from?
It is a reflection of the sun's light on the surface of the moon.
Is the moon light reflected off of earth?
No, the moon's light is actually sunlight that is reflected off its surface. The moon doesn't produce its own light; it merely reflects the light from the sun.
How does a hyperbolic mirror affect the reflection of light?
A hyperbolic mirror distorts the reflection of light by focusing or spreading it in a non-uniform manner. This can create unique optical effects and alter the appearance of objects reflected in the mirror.
The point at which light rays intersect when they are reflected off a concave mirror is called?
If several light rays enter a concave parabolic mirror parallel to each other andto the axis of the mirror, then they'll all converge at the focus of the mirror.If they enter the mirror from a variety of directions, then there's no telling whetherthey might intersect, or where.
Which mirror makes you look elongated?
A concave mirror will give an elongated appearance. When a mirror curves inward it becomes concave and makes one look elongated and thinner because of the way the light is reflected off the mirror.
What is Focal length of a concave mirror?
It is the point , on the central axis, where light, that is parallel to the central axis, passes thru after it is reflected from the mirror. It is also at a distance from the mirror equal to twice the radius of curvature of the mirror.
What happens to parallel rays of light when they reflect from a concave mirror?
Parallel rays of light that reflect from a concave mirror will converge at a focal point after reflection. The focal point is located on the principal axis of the mirror and is the point where all reflected rays meet after reflection.
Can a concave mirror focus light?
Yes, a concave mirror can focus light. When light rays reflect off a concave mirror, they can come together at a single point known as the focal point. This can create a focused image.
How is light reflected off an object?
by a mirror
How do you see your face in the mirror?
Light is reflected off your face, and hits the mirror. The light then reflects off the mirror back to your eyes.
Does a concave mirror have a focal point?
Yes, a concave mirror has a focal point. Light rays parallel to the mirror's axis converge at the focal point after reflecting off the mirror.
What is the object that light is reflected off called?
MIRROR
What is a line of reflection?
A line of reflection is a reflected line, often off of a mirror. If a flashlight sends a beam of light at a mirror (the light is called the incident beam), the angle at which it hits the mirror will equall the angle at which the reflected beam of light (called the reflected beam), exits the mirror. This is called the Law of Reflection. This is why light is reflected from a mirror at the same angle at which light struck its surface.

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 are 3 examples of light being reflected?
- light reflected from a window- light reflected from a mirror- light reflected from snow
