Is the reflecting surface of a sculpture a plane surface like that of a plane mirror?
No. It is not a plane surface like that of a plane mirror because a plane mirror is straight and it does not have any curve in it. the sculpture's surface is like that of a Convex Mirror
How can you prove the image formed in plane mirror is as far behindthe mirror as the object in front of it?
To do this get a plane mirror and two pins. 1.place the first pin in front of the mirror and let it stand firmly. 2.the second pin would act like a search pin-move it until it coincide with the image of the first pin. 3.avoid error due to parallax in 2 4.read the distance of the first pin from the mirror and now the second from behind the mirror,you will find out they are approximately the same since you can't do it perfectly at home. 5.Any small object can also be used
Compare concave mirror to convex mirror?
They both will give distorted images, but where a convex mirror (which bulges out like a bubble) has a right-side up image, a concave mirror (which bows in like a bowl) has an upside-down image.
Would the mirror equation work for plane mirrors?
No, it will not, this is because a plane mirror has no focal point. It's rays never converge at a single point like a concave mirror, and therefore it has no focal point The mirror equation is 1/f=1/di + 1/do, where f is the focal point, di is the distance of the image from the mirror, and do is the distance of the reflected object from the mirror. Since focal point is required for the equation, it can't work. Hope this helps.
What are two possibilities for an image formed by a convex lens?
a convex lens is thicker in the center then at the edges. A convex lens acts like a concave mirror, because it focuses rays of light.
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
Why you are not able to see your image on the sheet of paper?
An Image is formed only when there is parallel reflection of light rays that falls on the surface..... Like in Mirror, the surface is plane, while in case of Paper, the surface is irregular or zic zag and hence the reflected rays are not parallel to each other and so no image is formed.

What can be seen in the plane mirror of the letter R?
An upright, inverted image of the letter R. Much like this - я
Does the image formed by a concave mirror changes depending on the focal length of the mirror?
Yes its like a normal mirror close up but furthur back it is upside down.

Is a mirror like parralell dimension?
A mirror is a reflection; an image.
What is a mirror-like image?
Symmetry
How is symmetry like a mirror image?
symmetryis about copying one objectsomewhereelse. a mirror just allows you to see what you have to draw inadvanceand you cant see afterwords yoursymmetricalshape is like your mirror image
What are the characteristics of a mirror?
A mirror is clear,glass like and can reflect off an image

What does a plane mirror look like?
