How would you describe your image in a plane mirror?
A plane mirror forms an erect, virtual image of the same size as the object. As a person gets closer to a plane mirror, the image gets larger.
If a convergent beam of light is incident on a plane mirror then what type of image will it form?
Real image
How can you distinguish between a plane mirror concave mirror and a convex mirror by merely looking at the mirror?
If our image is real and inverted and smaller than the object ,then it is a concave mirror; if the image is virtual and erect and larger than the object,then it is a convex mirror; if the image is of the same size as of the object,it is a plane mirror. that is how we can distinguish or identify which of the given mirrors are what. BUT if the angle is very small you cannot tell Plane is flat, convex it curves outwards and concave it curves inwards.
An object is 5 millimeters high is located 15 millimeters in front of a plane mirror how far from the mirror is the image located?
30 millimeters
What will be the difference in the size of the image of the same object formed by a small and large plane mirror?
A plane mirror has angle of incidence == angle of reflection and creates a virtual image . The size is +1 - its the SAME SIZE + means upright ( being virtual ) . Only difference is you can see MORE of yourself in a larger mirror against a smaller one.
Where does your image appear to be when you look into a plane mirror?
It's a virtual reflection of the object which appears as an image as much behind the mirror as the distance of the object in front.
What distance from the mirror does an image in a plane mirror appear to be?
Same distance behind mirror.
An object 5 millimeter high is located 15 millimeter in front of a plane mirror How far from the mirror is the image located?
The distance between the object and mirror is 15 mm. The distance between the image and mirror is 15 mm. Therefore, the distance between the image and object is 15 mm plus 15 mm which equals 30 mm.
How does the distance of the object compare with the distance of the image from the plane mirror?
The distance of the object from the mirror line should equal the distance of the image from the mirror line.
where your image appears to be when you look into into a plane mirror?
mirage mirror it's self!
Where image appears to be when you look into a plane mirror?
mirage mirror it's self!
How is your image in a plane mirror different from the real you?
The image is virtual and appears to be as much behind the mirror as the distance a person is away from the mirror.
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.
Images formed by a plane mirror?
A plane mirror forms 1 virtual image and no real image. The virtual image is behind the mirror, at the same distance as the object in front of the mirror, erect, in mirror image left-right.
When you view your in a plane mirror how far behind mirror is your image compared with your distance in front of the mirror?
same distance
What kind of image is formed in the plane mirror?
An image in a plane mirror is created by the light rays reflecting off the reflective surface of a mirror. The image is always virtual because the light rays remain parallel, meaning they never pass through a focal point. The image is actual size, inverted, and always virtual. When light strikes a plane mirror, the angle of incidence will always equal the angle of reflection.
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 .
