Why inner curved surface is known as Concave mirror?
Inner curved surface is known as concave mirror because inner side of the spherical mirror is polished to reflect the light is called concave mirror,and concave mirror is know because concave mirror converges parallel beam of light.
What happen when a ray of light falls perpendicular to the surface of mirror?
it reflects
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.
When light hits a mirror does it bounce regularly?
It depends on the shape of mirror. If the mirror is straight and not curved, light bounces back in a manner. If it is curved, the reflected image will look different.
Is a street light mirror concave or convex?
A street light mirror is typically concave. Concave mirrors are used in street lights to reflect light downwards and maximize illumination on the street below. The curved surface of the concave mirror helps to focus the light in a specific direction.
How do a concave mirror and convex mirror differ?
A concave mirror, or converging mirror, has a reflecting surface that bulges inward (away from the incident light). A convex mirror, fish eye mirror or diverging mirror, is a curved mirror in which the reflective surface bulges toward the light source.
What happen to the rays as it hits the surface of the mirror?
When light rays hit the surface of a mirror, they are reflected back at the same angle they hit the mirror. This is known as the law of reflection. The angle of incidence (the angle at which the light ray hits the mirror) is equal to the angle of reflection (the angle at which the light ray is reflected off the mirror).
What is the mirror that causes parallel incident rays of light to converge at the focus?
The mirror that causes parallel incident rays of light to converge at the focus is a concave mirror. This type of mirror is curved inward and has a reflective surface that causes light rays to converge towards a focal point when they strike the mirror parallel to its principal axis.
What is the difference of curved mirror and flat mirror?
Curved mirrors have a reflective surface that is curved inward or outward, causing light rays to converge or diverge. This allows curved mirrors to form both real and virtual images. In contrast, flat mirrors have a flat reflective surface and only produce virtual images that are the same size as the object.
When light bounces off a mirror what happen to it?
When light hits a mirror, it reflects off the surface at an equal but opposite angle to the angle at which it hit the mirror. This results in a clear and specular reflection.
Surface that curves outward and reflects and spreads light?
Convex surface. It is curved outward and acts as a reflector, spreading light in various directions. This type of surface is commonly used in mirrors and lenses to focus or diverge light rays.
What mirror is curved inwards?
A concave mirror is curved inwards, causing light rays parallel to the mirror's axis to converge at a focal point in front of the mirror. This type of mirror can be used for focusing light in various optical devices like telescopes and shaving mirrors.
