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.

Why would you use a concave mirror instead of a flat mirrors?

For what prupose? If it is for a shaving mirror then concave mirror would produce a magnified image which would be helpful for clean shaving.


Why do objects in the rear view mirror appear closer than they are?

The light from an object falls on the mirror. If these rays were to be extended backwards then they would meet behind the mirror making the image also at the back of the mirror. We can't catch this image on the screen. The image looks smaller due to one of the laws of depth perception. This makes the image look even smaller.


How does letter b look like under microscope and mirror?

Well, darling, under a microscope, the letter "b" would look like a curvy line with a little loop on one end. And if you were to slap a mirror in front of it, that cheeky "b" would just flip itself horizontally and give you a mirror image of its sassy self. Just remember, "b" is for bold and beautiful!


What type of mirror would you use to allow a large area to be viewed?

To reflect the image of a large area, a convex mirror would be used. This mirror would normally be in the form of a spherical section, as the security mirrors in a store or mall. A full mirrored sphere could be used, but would not be as efficient.


What kind of mirror would be best suited for use in a solar cooker and why?

concave mirror are the best as it collects the sunlight coming from infinity to a single point called focus.it produces intense heat to cook food easily.still using plane mirror on household level for solar cooker is foolishness.

How would you compare the images formed in the plane mirror to a rear view mirror of a Car?

In a plane mirror, the image size is of same size as that of the object, but in the rear view mirror, the image size is smaller than that of the mirror.


What is the size of the image in a plane mirror?

Same size as it would actually be


With a plane mirror what would be the relationship between di the image distance and do the object distance?

In a plane mirror, the image distance (di) is equal to the object distance (do). The image formed is virtual, upright, and the same size as the object, and it appears behind the mirror at the same distance as the object in front of the mirror.


What would happen if a glass plate is replaced by a plane mirror?

If a glass plate is replaced by a plane mirror, the mirror will reflect an image of the objects in front of it. The mirror will not refract light like the glass plate would, and the reflected image will appear to be at the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it.


An object 5 millimeter high is located 15 millimeters in front pf a plane mirror How far from the mirror is the image located?

The image of the object in a plane mirror is located at the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it. Therefore, the image of the object would be located 15 millimeters behind the mirror.


Can a plane mirror form a real image?

No it can not. It would have to be concave or convex(not sure which). A real image would be if you looked at the mirror and on the wall next to you were projected.


An object 5 millimeter high is located 15 millimeter in front of a plane mirror How far from the mirror is the image located?

The distance between the object and mirror is 15 mm. The distance between the image and mirror is 15 mm. Therefore, the distance between the image and object is 15 mm plus 15 mm which equals 30 mm.


What is the mirror image of TARAIN1014A?

The mirror image of TARAIN1014A would be A4101NIARAT.


How do the size and location of your image change as you walk away from a plane mirror?

Good question. Location would be as far as the person is in front of the mirror Size would appear to become smaller


What is a virtual image?

In optics, a virtual image is an image in which the outgoing rays from a point on the object never actually intersect at a visable point. However, if these rays were stretched out they would intersect at a point behind the mirror/surface.


What would be the angle between the ruler and its image if the angle between a horizontal ruler and a vertical plane mirror is 30?

30


Why real image don't form in plane mirror?

When diverging rays from a point source fall on the plane mirror, after reflection would once again diverge and never get a chance of converging. So any diverging rays cannot form a real image and they are considered to be coming from one point and that point is taken to be the virtual image.
