What kind of mirror magnifies the image of an item close to it?

A concave mirror magnifies the image of an item close to it. This type of mirror has a curved surface that causes light rays to converge, creating a magnified image of objects placed near it. Concave mirrors are commonly used in makeup mirrors and telescopes.


What kind of mirror is used in automobiles and trucks to give the driver a wider area and smaller image of traffic behind him?

Automobiles and trucks typically use convex mirrors as side mirrors. These mirrors are curved outward, which allows them to provide a wider field of view, helping drivers see more of the area behind and beside their vehicles. While convex mirrors create a smaller image of objects, they effectively reduce blind spots and enhance safety while driving.


Why is a concave mirror better for gathering light than a plane mirror on a telescope?

-- A concave mirror gathers the light and bunches it up all in one place, called the "focus" of the mirror. There's a "real image" at that place, and you can capture it with a piece of ground glass, tissue, photo-film, or light-sensitive device at that place. -- A plane mirror doesn't gather anything. It just kind of sends the light back toward where it came from. It doesn't form any real image, and there's nothing to capture.

What are the three kinds of mirrors and what kind of images do they reflect?

The three kinds of mirrors are plane mirrors, concave mirrors, and convex mirrors. Plane mirrors reflect a virtual image that is upright and the same size as the object. Concave mirrors reflect both real and virtual images, depending on the object's position relative to the mirror. Convex mirrors always reflect virtual images that are smaller and upright.
