What is the difference in size of image formed by the small and large plane mirror?

The size is the same for both since they are both planemirrors.
The size of the virtual image in a plane mirror is the same as
the size of the object. The size of the mirror is irrelevant.

What will be the difference in the size of the image (of the same object) formed by a small and large mirror?
the image on the large mirror may seen big and the image on the small mirror may appear small
Why is convex mirror used as vigilance mirrrors in departmental stores?
Vigilance mirror is made of convex mirror because convex mirror shows large field of view. ... Image formed in the convex mirror is small in the size and closer. So we can see clear image.
Compare the image formed by a concave lens and the image formed by a convex mirror?
the image formed by convex lens are real but the images formed by concave lens are virtual concave mirror are commonly used in to torches search light and vehicles headlights to get powerful parallel beam of light they are often used as a wing a to see a larger image of the face the dentist use a concave mirrors to see larger image of that is open send large can give are used to concentrate sunlight to produce heat in solar furnace
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.
Does a convex lens invert images?
Yes. Image formed by convex lens is laterally inverted. However, It should be kept in mind that convex lens can form both real and virtual images. If the object is placed beyond F (Focus), then real image will be formed and laterally inverted. However, if the object is placed between F and C. Then the images formed will be virtual but NOT laterally inverted. For concave lens, all images formed is on the same side so the images formed is NOT laterally inverted

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.
As you look at an ordinary mirror at large angle you can often see more than one image why?
In addition to the primary image formed by one reflection off the back of the mirror, you may get images formed after two reflections and a total internal refraction: reflection off the back of mirror, refraction on inside of front surface of glass and reflection off back of the mirror. The refraction will only take place at a large angle.

Why motorists use convex mirror?
There are convex mirrors found in the form of side view mirrors in all the vehicles because convex mirror has a property that the image formed is smaller than the actual size of the object and hence it allows to see a large area in a small mirror which is useful during driving
Why concave mirror is used for shaving?
Some people use concave mirror because when a man stands between the principal focus and pole of a concave mirror,he sees an enlarged,erect and virtual image of his face.this is the reason why a concave mirror of large focal length is used for shaving. concave mirrors concentrate on one focus and while shaving it concentrate on a point and the image is enlarge which prevents the face from cutting. because when a man stands between the pricipal focus and pole of a concave mirror , he sees enlarged ,erect and virtual image of his face .that is why concave mirror of large focal length is used for shaving
What type of mirror would you use to allow a large area to be viewed?
To reflect the image of a large area, a convex mirror would be used. This mirror would normally be in the form of a spherical section, as the security mirrors in a store or mall. A full mirrored sphere could be used, but would not be as efficient.
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.
What is the difference between parabolic and concave mirrors?
In the case of concave mirrors parallel rays, parallel to the principal axis and incident near the pole(axial rays), after reflection will converge to the principal focus.Rays reflected from the marginal portions of the mirror(marginal rays) will converge to points nearer than the focus. Due to this the image formed by a concave mirror of large aperture will be blurred. This defect is called spherical aberration. This defect can be overcome by using parabolic mirrors. In a parabolic mirror all the rays, axial rays as well as the marginal rays, incidenting on it after reflection will converge to the same principal focus. This is due to the geometric property of the parabola, that is parabola allows only one focus.Hence in a parabolic mirror there is no spherical aberration and the image will be sharp and clear.
Does a convex lens invert images?
Yes. Image formed by convex lens is laterally inverted. However, It should be kept in mind that convex lens can form both real and virtual images. If the object is placed beyond F (Focus), then real image will be formed and laterally inverted. However, if the object is placed between F and C. Then the images formed will be virtual but NOT laterally inverted. For concave lens, all images formed is on the same side so the images formed is NOT laterally inverted
