What is the difference between the focus of concave and convex mirror?
the focal point of a concave mirror is positive while a convex is negative
How would the eye perceive an image created by a concave mirror and by a convex mirror?
A concave mirror will focus an image and make it appear smaller. A convex mirror will disperse an image and make it appear larger.
Why is a concave mirror used in microscopes instead of convex lenses?
To focus AND reflect light through the specimen slide to the lenses.
Why is the focal points of a convex lens is real and concave is virtual?
The convex mirror diverges light rays, so if you draw the reflected rays in front of the mirror and continue drawing them at the back of the mirror the virtual light rays (at the back of the mirror) will join. This point is called a Virtual Focus Point.
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.
Which spherical mirror has a virtual focus-concave or convex?
convex
What is the difference between the focus of concave and convex mirror?
the focal point of a concave mirror is positive while a convex is negative
How would the eye perceive an image created by a concave mirror and by a convex mirror?
A concave mirror will focus an image and make it appear smaller. A convex mirror will disperse an image and make it appear larger.
How does light reflect off a convex and concave?
A parallel light source will reflect off a concave mirror and go through a point inside the curve called the focus. Reflecting from a convex mirror will cause all light to bounce off in a straight line away from a focus point behind the mirror.
Why is a concave mirror used in microscopes instead of convex lenses?
To focus AND reflect light through the specimen slide to the lenses.
What mirror causes light rays to converge?
concave mirror and convex lens can be used to focus light rays. they are also called converging mirror and lens respectively. They focus the light at a distance of its focal length.
How do you find the virtual focus in a convex mirror?
since the convex mirror is curved outwards the the focus is behind the mirror
Why is the focal points of a convex lens is real and concave is virtual?
The convex mirror diverges light rays, so if you draw the reflected rays in front of the mirror and continue drawing them at the back of the mirror the virtual light rays (at the back of the mirror) will join. This point is called a Virtual Focus Point.
Why do reflecting telescopes use con cave mirrors and not convex mirrors?
Convex mirrors spread and not focus light. They do the opposite of concentrating and magnifying. They are the mirror image of what a concave telescope is and does. Pun intended.
Are spectacles concave or convex lens?
They are convex, or rounded outward. The title is given from where you view through them - from convex to concave. The image is in focus from this direction
How are convex lenses and concave lenses the same?
They are not the same. Convex lens bulge outward, and concave lenses go in ward. Convex lenses focus light, and concave lenses spread light out.
Which optical instrument uses a large concave mirror a plane mirror and a convex lens to gather light focus and enlarge an image?
You could make a Newtonian reflecting telescope with those parts.
