As you may know the only reason we see anything is because light is reflected off it. Turn the light off in your room and you see "nothing", turn it on and everything is visible (mostly). Mirrors are highly reflective surfaces, so any light that hits them will bounce back as if it copying said light. As surfaces get less and less reflective you will be able to see a less distinctive image back, for example aluminum or titanium.

What kind of images do convex mirrors form?

If a convergent beam of light is incident on a plane mirror then what type of image will it form?
A convergent beam of light incident on a plane mirror will form a real and inverted image.
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.
What image does a convex lens form?
Convex lenses always form smaller, virtual images
How does a concave mirror affect light?
A concave mirror will tend to "focus" light to some degree, depending on the curvature of the mirror. A parabolic mirror will bring reflected light to a sharp focus, and telescopes use this type of curve for the shape of their reflective surface. And for exactly the reasons you think they do.

Is using a plane mirror to form virtual image one of its uses?
A plane mirror forms a virtual image. If it's reflected, then the light does not come from the image, and it is virtual.
Describe the image form mirror by a plane mirror?
The image formed by a plane mirror is virtual, upright, and the same size as the object. The image appears to be behind the mirror at the same distance as the object is in front of the mirror. The orientation of the image is laterally inverted, meaning left and right are switched.
Why does plane mirror form virtual image?
A plane mirror forms a virtual image because the rays of light appear to be coming from behind the mirror, where the image is located. The image appears to be the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it, creating the illusion of a virtual image.
Is a plane mirror a virtual or real image?
A plane mirror forms a virtual image because the reflected rays do not actually converge to form an image behind the mirror, but appear to diverge from a point behind the mirror.
Does a Convex mirror form a virtual or real image?
A convex mirror forms a virtual image. The reflected rays diverge away from each other, and when extended backward, they appear to meet at a point behind the mirror. This virtual image is always upright and smaller than the object.
What type of mirror is required for obtaining a virtual image of the same size as the object?
A concave mirror is required to obtain a virtual image of the same size as the object. The object should be placed at the focal point of the mirror to form the virtual image of the same size.
When does a convex mirror form real image?
A convex mirror always forms a virtual image, meaning that the light rays appear to be coming from a point behind the mirror. Thus, a real image is never formed by a convex mirror.
does a plane mirror produces a real image?
"Real" and "virtual" are two opposite, mutually exclusive categories of images. An image is either one or the other, and no image can be both. The image produced by a plane mirror is a virtual one.
Can plane mirror form real image?
No, a plane mirror cannot form a real image. It forms a virtual image that appears to be behind the mirror at the same distance as the object is in front of it.
How does a plane mirror form a real image?
A plane mirror does not form a real image. It produces a virtual image, which appears to be behind the mirror and is the same size and orientation as the object being reflected.
A mirror reflects light to form an image on what?
on the retina of ur eye......its an virtual image....
