What describes image formation by a plane mirror?
The image in a plane mirror is the same size as the object, the same distance from the mirror, upright and laterally inverted.
What are the 5 Properties of an image in a plane mirror?
Characteristics of an image formed by the plane mirror are :- * Virtual and erect (up right ) . * The image is of same size as that of the object . *The image is far behind the mirror as the object is in front of it . *The image is laterally inverted .
The image in a plane mirror an be upright or inverted depending on where the object is?
A plane mirror will always create an upright image of 1/2 scale.
Why do images in a concave mirror appear inverted?
If an object's distance from the concave mirror is greater than the mirror's focal length, then the mirror image of it will be inverted. If the distance from the concave mirror is less than the focal length of the mirror, the image will not be inverted. No image will be produced if the distance from the mirror to the object is equal to the mirror's focal length.
How can you identify the three types of mirrors without touching?
In the plane mirror, our image will be seen as same size of us and erect. In case of concave mirror, our image will be inverted. This is because concave mirror forms real, inverted image when object is placed behind the focus of the mirror. In case of convex mirror, the size of the image will be diminished, or smaller than us and the image will be erect too. This is because the image formed is virtual and erect.
Can a plane mirror ever form an inverted an image?
no.
Why isn't the image in a periscope laterally inverted?
Because there are two mirrors: one at the bottom and one at the top. If there was only one mirror in it, it would be, but because the image is inverted in one mirror, then that image is inverted again in the second mirror, it goes back to normal and you see the normal image which is entering the periscope at the other end.
List 5 properties of a virtual image creaed by reflection from a plane mirror?
1. Image is upright 2. Image is virtual 3. Image is of same size as object 4. Image is laterally inverted 5. Distance from object to mirror is equal to the distance from the mirror to the image
When you look at a plane mirror what does the images appear to be in th mirror?
An image that is laterally inverted.
Is the image formed by a convex mirror laterally inverted?
yes
A flat mirror forms an image that is?
Virtual and laterally inverted.
What is the reflection from a mirror called?
Just that: reflection. There can be a virtual image, an imaginary image, an inverted image etc depenting on the shape of the surface of the mirror.
