No ! The images formed by a mirror are not perfect !!The finest images are those formed by a right angled PRISM . However the rays from the object need to fall perpendicularly on prism's surface . Thus for convenience mirrors are used .

What are super imposable mirror images?

Superimposable mirror images are mirror images that can be placed on top of each other and perfectly overlap, resulting in the same molecule or object. These types of mirror images are known as "identical" or "superimposable" because they are the same in terms of spatial arrangement, chirality, and configuration. In chemistry, superimposable mirror images are referred to as enantiomers.


What types of images are produced by a concave mirror?

A concave mirror is dished in ward. A convex mirror domed. Both images will be distorted in size from actuality. A convex mirror will give a wider view of what you are looking at in the mirror. A concave mirror will compress and magnify the image being viewed.


What type pf images can a concave mirror form?

A concave mirror can form real images or virtual images depending on the object position relative to the focal point of the mirror. Real images are formed when the object is located beyond the focal point, while virtual images are formed when the object is located between the mirror and the focal point.
