What are the kinds of curve mirror?
They are: concave (curved away from the observer) convex (curved toward the observer)
How will you distinguish between plane mirror convex mirror and concave mirror without touching?
If the image is erect and equal in size and it does not change its size and nature on moving the mirror closer or away from the object, the mirror is plane mirror. If the image is erect and magnified and it becomes inverted on moving the mirror away from the object, the mirror is concave mirror. If the image is erect and diminished and remains erect on moving the mirror away from the object, the mirror is convex mirror.
How do a concave mirror and convex mirror differ?
A concave mirror, or converging mirror, has a reflecting surface that bulges inward (away from the incident light). A convex mirror, fish eye mirror or diverging mirror, is a curved mirror in which the reflective surface bulges toward the light source.
Which describes a reflected image in a plane mirror?
the image is right-left reversed and about as far away from the mirror as the reflected object
What are the conditions for seeing the image of an object in a plane mirror?
-- Light has to shine on the object, and some of it has to reflect off of the object. -- Some of the reflected light has to make it to the mirror. There can't be any physical obstruction in the path. -- The mirror has to be clean enough so that some of the light hitting the mirror is reflected away from it. -- Your eye has to be on the path taken by the light after it reflects from the mirror.

What force pull an object away from the center of a curved path?
Inertia is the "force" that causes an object in a curved path to pull away from the center. Inertia is actually the tendency of anything with mass to resist a change in motion. In other words, an object at rest will not move because of inertia, unless it is acted on by an unbalanced force, and an object in motion will continue to travel at a constant speed in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object traveling in a circular path pulls away from the center because inertia tries to keep the object traveling in a straight line.

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.
What location does the image approach as the object gets arbitrarily far away from the mirror?
Half the radius of the mirror, also known as the focal point.
What shape is a concave mirror and what do things look like in it?
A concave mirror bulges away from the incident light. The image of an object depends on where exactly the object is placed - relative the to focal length of the mirror. See the attached link for more details.
What are the dimensions of the smallest mirror to see your entire body?
Plane mirror images are always erect and virtual and appear as far behind the mirror as the distance of the object in front of the mirror. So, I think that it doesn't really matter what size the mirror is. I believe it is just how far you stand away from the mirror. The farther away the more image you can view.
How does image change in its size and location as the object comes nearer the concave mirror?
this will depend.
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.
