What else can I help you with?
What kind of mirror do you have if reflected rays of light pass through the principle focus when light hits a mirror parallel to the principle axis?
The mirror is a concave mirror. This behavior is a property of concave mirrors, where parallel rays of light are reflected and converge at the principal focus after reflection.
Why is a concave mirror better for gathering light than a plane mirror on a telescope?
-- A concave mirror gathers the light and bunches it up all in one place, called the "focus" of the mirror. There's a "real image" at that place, and you can capture it with a piece of ground glass, tissue, photo-film, or light-sensitive device at that place. -- A plane mirror doesn't gather anything. It just kind of sends the light back toward where it came from. It doesn't form any real image, and there's nothing to capture.
What kind of images are formed in a concave mirror?
Concave mirrors can form both real and virtual images. Real images are formed when the reflected light rays actually converge at a point in front of the mirror, whereas virtual images are formed when the light rays appear to diverge from a point behind the mirror. The type of image formed depends on the position of the object relative to the focal point of the mirror.
What kind of shape is the primary mirror of a reflecting telescope?
The name of this type of instrument is derived from the fact that the primary mirror reflects the light back to a focus instead of refracting it. The primary mirror usually has a concave spherical or parabolic shape, and, as it reflects the light, it inverts the image at the focal plane.
What kind of telescope uses a single large parabolic mirror to gather and focus starlight?
A single-mirror reflector.
What kind of mirror should be used if the source of light is artificial?
A regular mirror can be used if the source of light is artificial. Artificial light sources do not require any special type of mirror for reflection. Any mirror that reflects light effectively will work for artificial light sources.
What kind of mirror is shaped like the inside of a spoon?
A concave mirror is shaped like the inside of a spoon. It curves inward like a bowl and can converge light waves to a focal point, creating a magnified or distorted reflection depending on the distance of the object from the mirror.
The primary mirror of a reflecting telescope is what kind of shape?
It is a paraboloid, which focusses the light from a star down to a single point which can then be looked at through the eye lens or eyepiece.
What kind of object is used in a reflection telescope to magnify the image?
In a reflection telescope, a curved mirror is used to magnify the image. The primary mirror collects and reflects light to a focal point, where a secondary mirror may direct the light to an eyepiece or camera. This design allows for the creation of larger telescopes that can gather more light and produce clearer images of distant celestial objects.
What kind of image is produced in a convex mirror?
The other uses of concave mirrors are: 1. Dental use - It focuses the light onto the area of the mouth. 2. Men use- This kind of mirror is great use for shaving. 3. Women use- This kind of mirror is great while applying makeup.
What are the two kind of mirror in compound microscope?
Convex - which is the flat or the plain mirror and it has the lesser lights to receivebut its has the more light intensity.Concave - which is the curve mirror where the lights to receive is more than the convexbut it has the less light intensity.
What kind of image will light rays directed at convex mirror produce?
it will be called reflection
