it is a reflection because the sound waves does not travel to another medium that is the condition of refraction

What generalization can you make regarding the nature of the images formed by a concave mirror?

The incoming light will intersect at a focal point determined by parabolic curve of the mirror.


What is an example of a convex mirror?

A plane mirror is a mirror with a planar reflective surface. For light rays striking a plane mirror, the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence. Thus a collimated beam of light does not spread out after reflection from a plane mirror, except for diffraction effects.Insertformulahere==Images== A plane mirror makes images of objects in front of it; these images appear to be behind the plane in which the mirror lies. A straight line drawn from part of an object to the corresponding part of its image makes a right angle with, and is bisected by, the surface of the plane mirror. The image formed by Insertformulahere==Images==a plane mirror is always virtual (meaning that the light rays do not actually come from the image), upright, and of the same shape and size as the object it is reflecting. A virtual image is a copy of an object formed at the location from which the light rays appear to come. However, the image is a laterally-inverted "mirror image" of the object. If a person is reflected in a plane mirror, the image of his right hand appears to be the left hand of the image.


What isomers that are mirror images of each other?

Chiral molecules have mirror-image isomers


What type of image does convex mirror form?

What type of image does a flat mirror form?Virtual image


In convex and concave mirrors which is diverge and which is converg?

A converging mirror is also referred to as a concave mirror. Its reflecting surface curves inwards and usually forms a virtual image. Whereas, a diverging mirror's reflecting surface is curved outwards and can form both real and virtual images.

What the similarities between echoes of sound and images in a mirror?

Echoes of sound and images in a mirror involves sound waves and light waves respectively being reflected off a surface.


What is the similarity between echoes of sound and images in a mirror?

Both echoes of sound and images in a mirror are examples of reflections. Reflection occurs when a wave, such as sound or light, bounces off a surface and returns in the opposite direction. In both cases, the reflected wave preserves the characteristics of the original wave, such as pitch in sound echoes and visual details in mirrored images.


What is a reflection in the mirror called?

A reflection in the mirror is called a mirror image. Mirror images are the virtual images that we see when looking at our reflection in a mirror.


Why some images on mirror appear to be erect?

Some images on a mirror usually appear erect because of the concave mirror.


What are super imposable mirror images?

Superimposable mirror images are mirror images that can be placed on top of each other and perfectly overlap, resulting in the same molecule or object. These types of mirror images are known as "identical" or "superimposable" because they are the same in terms of spatial arrangement, chirality, and configuration. In chemistry, superimposable mirror images are referred to as enantiomers.


What is the place at which rays of light meet or appear to meet after being reflected or refracted by a mirror or lens?

The point at which rays of light converge or appear to converge after being reflected or refracted by a mirror or lens is called the focal point.


What types of images are produced by a concave mirror?

A concave mirror is dished in ward. A convex mirror domed. Both images will be distorted in size from actuality. A convex mirror will give a wider view of what you are looking at in the mirror. A concave mirror will compress and magnify the image being viewed.


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.


Does D and L isomers are mirror images?

Yes, D and L isomers are enantiomers and are indeed mirror images of each other. They are non-superimposable mirror images, like our left and right hands.


How do the images appear in a convex mirror?

Images in a convex mirror appear smaller, virtual, and upright. The reflected image is located behind the mirror and its size depends on the object's distance from the mirror.

What reflects like a mirror but does not show itself?

An answer to this riddle is "A camera." Cameras reflect images like a mirror, but the camera itself is not visible in its own images.
