What is the difference of curved mirror and flat mirror?
the curved mirrors are trick mirrors and flat mirrors are the one's that you use at home
Does the law of reflection apply to curved and flat mirrors?
The law of reflection is valid for any ray of light. So it is also valid for curved and flat surfaces. For curved surfaces, the normal is taken as the normal to the tangent of the point where the light ray hits the surface.
What is difference between plane mirror and mirror?
A plane mirror is FLAT, whereas mirrors can be also convex (as with the back of a spoon) or concave (as is the case with the inside of a spoon). In other words, mirrors can be CURVED.
Why do images produced by two opposing flat mirrors apperar to be progressively smaller?
The mirrors are different sizes
What do you call flat mirrors?
A flat mirror is also called a plane mirror
What is the difference of curved mirror and flat mirror?
the curved mirrors are trick mirrors and flat mirrors are the one's that you use at home
Would Images formed by curved mirrors will look identical to to the images formed by flat mirrors?
No. They will look different.
How do flat mirrors and curved mirrors reflect light?
how do mirrors reflect light
Why is it that the side mirrors in vehicles are curved mirrors?
convex (curved) mirrors show more space than flat mirrors do also the images are smaller than they really are

Do all mirrors have flat surfaces?
No; I have a convex mirror that is a x 10 magnification, great for plucking eyebrows I can tell you and it is curved.

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
Do mirrors sometimes make things look bigger than they really are?
They can if they are curved inward (concave). We frequently see this in make-up mirrors that have a flat, or "regular" side, and a concave side that magnifies the image one sees in it.
How many flat surfaces and curved surfaces does a cylinder have?
2 flat and 1 curved
Is a cylinder flat or curved?
The cylinder only has 2 faces which are flat but the sides are curved.
