What chemical element is used in thermometers?
the element used in termometers is Mercury.
Why was Mercury used for mirrors?
Mercury WAS used for mirrors- it provided a bright reflection that did not tarnish.
What is some of the uses of Mercury?
Mercury has many uses but the first one that comes to mind, is the use for this metal in thermometers. Mercury is, to my knowledge, the only metal that can be a liquid at room temperature. This metal is also used in making other instruments such as barometers.
How is mercury used in the modern world today?
Mercury is used in thermometers barometers and flourescent lightbulbs.
Was Mercury used in alchemy?
Yes, mercury was used in alchemy. It was one of the three primes (sulfur, mercury, and salt), and was considered the connection between high and low.
What can you see in Mercury?
If the pool of mercury is big enough, you can see your own face. The surface of mercury is shiny like a mirror.
How do you change the passenger mirror on a 2005 Mercury Mountaineer?
move it
What metals are used in the alloys for Amalgam?
Silver amalgam for dental fillings is made from mercury and silver. The amalgam used for the reflective properties of a mirror is made from silver and tin.
Will a rear view mirror on a 1993 Mercury Grand Marquis fit a 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis?
yes
What type of mirror is formed when a mercury drop falls on the earth?
convex!
What is the different between concave and convex mirror light?
Concave mirror would have the surface curved out get coated with mercury hence curved in surface would reflect the rays fallen on. But convex mirror would have the surface curved in get coated with mercury hence curved out surface would reflect the rays fallen on. Concave mirror would have both converging and diverging ability. When light coming from an object placed at a distance higher than its focal length right from the pole of the mirror, converging takes place. But the object lies in between pole and the focus diverging action. But in convex mirror irrespective of the placement of the object only diverging phenomenon. Concave mirror used as shaving mirror and dentists too use them Convex mirror is used as rear view mirror in case of vehicles near by the driver.
How do you replace the glass on the driver side power mirror 1999 mercury cougar?
the mirror should just pop out, remove the two heating wires and install the new mirror
What are the characteristics of mercury glass?
Mercury glass is a special method in which glass is blown and then inlaid with silver although mercury was not always used to do this. The surfaces of the glass are generally very reflective like a mirror and come in a variety of colors. The surface of the glass could even be described as looking metallic.
Differentiate between concave and convex mirror?
The outer curved part is coated with mercury as the inner would reflect light in case of concave mirror. Whereas the inner is coated as to make the outer to act as reflector in case of convex mirror. Concave mirror can give both real and virtual images for a real object depending on the location of object. But convex on the other hand can give only virtual image with a real object irrespective of the position of the object. Next, concave mirror can be used as shaving mirror. Also used to converge the parallel beam of light. Convex mirror is best used as rear view mirror in case of vehicles.
A convex mirror is a mirror that curves outward A concave mirror is a mirror that cruves inward Which statement is best supported by the diagram?
the diagram is not given. In ward and out ward are relative terms. So it would be confusing at all times. Now we have a portion of a sphere made up of glass. Now we have two sides one is curved in and other one is out. If we coat mercury on the curved in side then we get CONVEX mirror. If we coat mercury on curved out side, then we have CONCAVE mirror.
Why the image formed in the mirror used in vehicles as rear view mirror is smaller in size than the object?
because the mirror used is concave mirror.
What are the equipments with concave mirror?
Shaving mirror, mirror used by dentists.
