What solar device creates an electric current?
A solar cell converts light energy into electricity. It is basically a giant semiconductor junction laid flat (fabricated) on a panel. One lays the panel to face the sunny side. With an inverter, the DC can be converted to AC to power household electrical appliances. One can also hook the panel up to a battery and store the energy for later use.
What is a dangerous use of static electricity?
electrocuting someone IN THE FACE.
What is the role of a shower mirror?
A shower mirror is installed to assist the person taking the shower. Men may use it to help while shaving their face while women may use it for other facial grooming such as plucking or putting on face masks. Many shower mirrors do not fog up in the heat of the shower like normal mirrors.
What is the difference between hydroelectric energy and solar energy?
Solar energy is generated using solar panels that face the sun and gather the energy. Hydroelectric energy is generated by rushing water. The intense pressure creates a large amount of energy. Basically, solar energy uses the sun, and hydroelectric energy uses water.
Compare the image formed by a concave lens and the image formed by a convex mirror?
the image formed by convex lens are real but the images formed by concave lens are virtual concave mirror are commonly used in to torches search light and vehicles headlights to get powerful parallel beam of light they are often used as a wing a to see a larger image of the face the dentist use a concave mirrors to see larger image of that is open send large can give are used to concentrate sunlight to produce heat in solar furnace
What makes a solar house different from conventional houses?
A solar house has several design elements that set it apart from regular homes. Solar home feature large windows to allow heat in, solar panels for electricity, and are usually built to face directly into the sun.
What year was solar energy first used?
If you mean, when did the first caveman use solar power to warm his face, we would not know that. Do you mean when was the first time man discovered he could get electricity from the Sun?
Few minor blemishes and in certain mirrors your face looks redder than other mirrors How do you know what you look like?
If you use blemished mirrors, then you cannot.
What happens when two mirrors face each other in a certain angle?
Depending on the angle between them, you will get multiple reflections of any object between the mirrors. If the mirrors meet at an angle of x degrees, an object placed between them should generate a maximum of (360/n) - 1 images. Parallel mirrors should, on that basis, produce an infinite number of images but because of microscopic flaws in the mirror, absorption, internal refraction etc, the images will degrade more or less exponentially.
Why not concave mirrors are suitable for make up?
Both concave and convex mirrors will distort the image of the face if used when applying make-up. Which is why flat mirrors are used instead.
Is it bad luck for two mirrors to face each other?
probably not
Why are concave mirrors suitable for makeup?
Concave mirrors magnify what is viewed in them. That is similar to how convex lenses work (things work opposite with mirrors). So you get a closeup view of your face while you apply makeup.

What is the function of concave mirror?
Concave mirrors focus light inward to one focal point. They are often used in telescopes and to magnify the face in makeup mirrors.
Can you switch the side mirrors on a 2004 tl?
If you mean left to right - No they will face rearward
What are 3 objects that reflect?
Glasses that you wear on your face. Glasses that you drink out of and of course mirrors.
What direction should solar homes face?
depends if you are using electricity at night or day. if night toward the west if in the day east if you could get your panels facing east to west that would be the most efficient.
