What is the principal focus of convex mirror?
It is the point at which all the light rays seem to converge in the case of convex mirror.
What are the properties of images seen in a concave mirror if the object is farther from than the focal point?
The image formed is real, inverted, diminished and on the same side of the mirror as the object is.
When looking at a slide under the microscope you should always put the stage at its highest point near the lens and then move it away until it comes into focus why is this a good practice to follow?
So you don't damage the lens by crushing the slide into it.
How do you build a parabolic mirror?
A parabolic mirror is shaped such that parallel incident light is reflected to a point called the focus. You will have to establish the size required, and the shape. There is an entry in Wikipedia on Parabola, giving the algebra.
Why is a concave mirror said to have real focus?
If parallel rays (for example sun rays witch are almost parallel) falls on concave mirror, they are gathered at a point, where maximum heat can be generated and it is very small point,witch is called real focus. As we can take it on screen, it is called real focus.
What does a mirror do on a compound light microscope?
You use it to see the object on your slide on a compound microscope. Point a flashlight at the mirror to see.
What is mirror of microscope?
You use it to see the object on your slide on a compound microscope. Point a flashlight at the mirror to see......sna poe makatulonq :DD
What is the function of mirror in microscope?
A compound microscope can either have a light bulb or a mirror for illumination. If your microscope has a mirror, then you need sunlight or some other light source to point at the mirror to view your slide.The mirror is used to focus light up through the hole in the microscope's stage, or slide platform. The slides will contain a thin slice of material through which the light can shine, to reveal the internal structure of the sample.
What part of a microscope bends light?
a mirror point light throw a hole in the stage which shines light on what you want to see!!
Why a side mirror is never a concave mirror?
A concave mirror would focus the light back towards the focal point of the mirror. You would not be able to use the mirror effectively with a concave.
What is the use of mirror to microscope?
A compound microscope can either have a light bulb or a mirror for illumination. If your microscope has a mirror, then you need sunlight or some other light source to point at the mirror to view your slide.The mirror is used to focus light up through the hole in the microscope's stage, or slide platform. The slides will contain a thin slice of material through which the light can shine, to reveal the internal structure of the sample.=========================================Mirrors on the exterior of microscopes are there to reflect ambient light (especially sunlight) under the slide being viewed to illuminate it. These are necessary for microscopes that don't have their own light sources.Mirrors in the interior of the microscope are there to redirect the optics and make the microscope more compact or to facilitate making the microscope binocular.
Why should you never point a microscopes mirror directly at the sun?
Think about it. If looking at the sun with the naked eye burns enough, why would u try it with a telescope?
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 is the Illuminating parts of compound microscope?
A compound microscope can either have a light bulb or a mirror. If yours has a light bulb, turn it on to view your slide. You can't use the light in your room or lab to view your slide, because you will block all that light when you use the microscope. If your microscope has a mirror then you might need a another light source to point at the mirror to view your slide.
Why a convex mirror and a concave lens can never produce a real image?
Because the light rays spread out & never meet the focal point
Where should the object be placed in order to produce a larger object behind a concave mirror?
The object should be necessarily be placed between the focal point of the concave mirror and the pole of the mirror to produce a larger image(not larger object) behind the concave mirror.
Do's and don'ts in holding a microscope?
believe it or not microscopes aren't that hard to use. there's a nob that you use to get in focus. the farther away you are from the specimen the bigger it will look. the point of a microscope is that your lens (the glass thing at the bottom) as far away as possible with out making it blurry. depending on what microscope your using there will be a mirror or a light. If your using a mirror you try to tilt it so it will get as much light as possible. if you are using one with lights try different combinations in till you get the best view.
