What is an example of a convex mirror?
A plane mirror is a mirror with a planar reflective surface. For light rays striking a plane mirror, the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence. Thus a collimated beam of light does not spread out after reflection from a plane mirror, except for diffraction effects.Insertformulahere==Images== A plane mirror makes images of objects in front of it; these images appear to be behind the plane in which the mirror lies. A straight line drawn from part of an object to the corresponding part of its image makes a right angle with, and is bisected by, the surface of the plane mirror. The image formed by Insertformulahere==Images==a plane mirror is always virtual (meaning that the light rays do not actually come from the image), upright, and of the same shape and size as the object it is reflecting. A virtual image is a copy of an object formed at the location from which the light rays appear to come. However, the image is a laterally-inverted "mirror image" of the object. If a person is reflected in a plane mirror, the image of his right hand appears to be the left hand of the image.
How is an image seen in a plane mirror with the image in a convex mirror different?
Concave: a curved like a segment of the interior of a circle or hollow sphere; hollow and curved Convex:having a surface that is curved or rounded outwards plane-a flat mirror
What is a virtual image?
In optics, a virtual image is an image in which the outgoing rays from a point on the object never actually intersect at a visable point. However, if these rays were stretched out they would intersect at a point behind the mirror/surface.
A boy is running towards a plane mirror with a speed of 25cmsecWhat is the relative velocity of this image with respect to the boy?
ou start out 25cm from the mirror: the image is 50 centimeters away. One second later, when your nose hits the mirror, the image is right on top of you--0 centimeters away. So in one second, the image traveled 50 centimeters with respect to you--thus the speed is 50 centimeters per second, or 50 cm/s.
Why did the left hand appear on the right in the perpendicular mirrors?
Clench your left hand and look in the mirror. Your head is directly in line with the head in the mirror. Your feet are directly opposite your feet in the mirror. Your clenched fist is directly opposite the fist in the mirror, your open hand is directly opposite the open hand in the mirror. If you put your fist to the mirror, the image puts its fist out to meet it. You would be surprised if it moved the other hand instead. Comments: I think the question meant "in the plane mirrors". Plane mirrors are flat mirrors. Also, the answer is not complete: 1) the mirror does reverse the object, but only in the direction perpendicular to the mirror surface. That information is in the answer, but it's not made very clear. 2) The image does seem to be left right reversed, despite this. This is because of the "psychology of visual perception", and not "physics". We find it hard to "see" our image as reversed front to back. So that means we perceive the image as reversed left to right, with front and back unchanged.
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.
What image formed by a plane mirror?
The image formed by a plane mirror is virtual image.
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.
What is the plane mirror explain formation of images by a plane mirror?
the image in a plane mirror is always
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.
Definition of plane mirror?
A plane mirror is a mirror which is completely flat, easier for your image to be reflected.
What type of image is is produced by a plane mirror?
Just a mirror image x
Describe the image form mirror by a plane mirror?
image form can be form by virtual image
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.
How image is formed by a plane mirror?
a image on mirror was get by the reflection from the mirror hten it is goes into our eyes and after this to brainby this process we get our image on hte 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.
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.
