How can you distinguish between a plane concave and a convex mirror without touching them?

One way to distinguish between a plane concave and convex mirror without touching them is to observe their reflected images. A concave mirror will produce an upright and magnified image of an object placed in front of it, while a convex mirror will produce an upright and diminished image. Another way is to look at the reflection of a distant object – a concave mirror will form a real image, while a convex mirror will create a virtual image.


What are examples of a plane a concave and convex mirrors?

Examples of planes are bathroom mirrors, windows, and floors. A concave mirror example is a makeup mirror, which magnifies the reflection. An example of a convex mirror is a security mirror, which gives a wider field of view.


Is it possible to find whether a mirror is plane concave or convex from the nature of image of an object?

Yes possible. If we place an object somehow close to the mirror and observe the image. If the image is of the same size as that of the object then it is a PLANE mirror If the image is magnified and erect, then it will be a concave mirror If the image is dimisnished then the mirror is convex in nature.
