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.
How can you distinguish between a plane mirror concave mirror and a convex mirror by merely looking at the mirror?
If our image is real and inverted and smaller than the object ,then it is a concave mirror; if the image is virtual and erect and larger than the object,then it is a convex mirror; if the image is of the same size as of the object,it is a plane mirror. that is how we can distinguish or identify which of the given mirrors are what. BUT if the angle is very small you cannot tell Plane is flat, convex it curves outwards and concave it curves inwards.
Why convex mirrors are fixed on the blind turns on the road of the mountains?
Convex mirrors make the image of the distant object clear and enlarged due to this we can see the objects on the other side of turns before taking the turn this is the reason why convex mirrors are fixed on blind turns of the mountain areas.
Why on mirror letters look different?
Plane mirrors(regular mirrors in households) laterally invert an object's image; letters are also laterally inverted and so they look different while seen in a mirror.
How is light reflected off of a concave mirror?
The way light is reflected is different in a concave mirror depending on the position and distance from the object. when light hits the concave mirror when it is near the object, the rays are scattered and it forms a virtual image, i.e it does not come on the screen. the image will be erect and higly magnified. When it is taken further from the object, the image becomes inverted and real, i.e it can be seen on a screen, and will still be magnified.
What are 3 examples of concave mirrors?
-A car's headlight, reflector lamps. -Concave mirrors can be used as makeup or shaving mirrors because an enlarged image can be obtained using a concave image. -Concave mirrors can also be mirrors used for dentists to see an enlarged image of a tooth.
What lens gives an enlarged and erect image?
convex lens(converging lens)
Can plane and convex mirrors produce real image?
no it does not produce real image . it produce virtual and erect image
What does you mean by erect image?
erect image is the copy of the object same as it appears.......for example stand in front of the plane mirror image seen is erect.
What is difference between erect and inverted image?
If the image is upside up view of the given object than it is called Inverted Image. If it remains as the object than it is called Erect Image
If an object is closer to a convex lens than one focal length the image is .?
If an object lies within the focal length of a convex lens, its image will be erect, bigger in size and virtual. It will be on the same side of the object.
Which three terms describe the image formed by mirrors?
-- virtual-- actual size-- erect(referring to plane mirrors only)
What is true about convex mirrors?
Well first off, convex mirrors are diverging mirrors, which means when they reflect light rays, the light rays never meet. The image that forms when an object is any length away from the mirror, the image is VIRTUAL and erect, the height of the image is smaller than that of the object, and the image is always between the focal point and the vertex of the mirror. Hope that helped!
What do we mean by the image is erect?
An image is erect if it is the same way up as the object. If they are upside down when compared to each other, the image is said to be "inverted".
Why are convex mirrors used in rear view mirrors?
It is because image formed by an convex mirror is always virtual, erect and smaller than the object. They are more helpful than the plane mirror because they give a wider view.
Instrument that produces an enlarged image of an object?
microscope
What the difference between the virtual image created by a concave and plane and a convex mirror?
THough all are erect, in concave it will be enlarged in plane mirror of the same size as the object but in convex mirror it will be dimished
