it shows the same size of the image or object shown in front of it
What else can I help you with?
Which three terms describe the image formed by mirrors?
-- virtual-- actual size-- erect(referring to plane mirrors only)
What are the differences between plane mirror and spherical mirror?
A plane mirror is flat, so your image is the same size as you. A spherical mirror is curved. If concave it can be used either to focus an image as in a reflecting telescope, or magnify as in a shaving/makeup mirror. If convex you get a smaller wide-angled image, as in a car's wing mirror
Can flat mirrors produce a real image?
No, only the virtual image will be obtained.
How can you identify the three types of mirrors without touching?
In the plane mirror, our image will be seen as same size of us and erect. In case of concave mirror, our image will be inverted. This is because concave mirror forms real, inverted image when object is placed behind the focus of the mirror. In case of convex mirror, the size of the image will be diminished, or smaller than us and the image will be erect too. This is because the image formed is virtual and erect.
Properties of plane mirror?
Plane mirrors produce virtual and upright images that are the same size as the object. They exhibit specular reflection, meaning they reflect light with minimal scattering. The image distance is equal to the object distance from the mirror, and the image is laterally inverted.
Why don't plane mirrors focus light rays?
Plane mirrors do not focus light rays because they have a flat surface that reflects light without changing its direction. Unlike concave or convex mirrors, which have curved surfaces that can converge or diverge light rays to form an image, plane mirrors only produce virtual images that appear to be behind the mirror at the same size and distance as the object.
What are characterstics of plane mirror?
Plane mirrors have a flat, smooth surface, which produces virtual upright images that are the same size as the object. They obey the law of reflection, where the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. They do not produce any magnification or distortion of the reflected image.
When can a plane mirror give real point size image?
okay i have a question . do you mean using one or two mirrors ?
Why do you view image on plane mirrors?
We view images on plane mirrors because they reflect light rays in a way that preserves the size and shape of the object being reflected. When light rays bounce off a plane mirror, they create a virtual image that appears to be behind the mirror at the same distance as the object is in front of the mirror.
How do plane mirrors form a virtual image?
Plane mirrors form a virtual image by reflecting light rays in such a way that they appear to be coming from a location behind the mirror. The image produced is laterally inverted but maintains the same size as the object. This virtual image cannot be projected onto a screen but can be seen by an observer looking into the mirror.
What are the three kinds of mirrors and what kind of images do they reflect?
The three kinds of mirrors are plane mirrors, concave mirrors, and convex mirrors. Plane mirrors reflect a virtual image that is upright and the same size as the object. Concave mirrors reflect both real and virtual images, depending on the object's position relative to the mirror. Convex mirrors always reflect virtual images that are smaller and upright.
Does a plane mirror produce a upright image?
Yes, a plane mirror produces an upright image since it does not invert the image left to right or up and down. The image appears to be the same size and orientation as the object being reflected.
