No. The two terms are mutually exclusive; something cannot be both flat and curved at the same time.

How is an image seen in a plane mirror with the image in a convex mirror different?

Concave: a curved like a segment of the interior of a circle or hollow sphere; hollow and curved Convex:having a surface that is curved or rounded outwards plane-a flat 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.


A chain of spherical bacterial cells is called?

An individual spherical bacterium is a coccus, and when you have a chain of them, it is referred to as streptococcus.


What is it called when a word looks upside down in a mirror?

Well when a word is shown in front of a mirror the reflection of the word upside down. This is called mirror image.


What should be the size of a plane mirror to get a full size image of a person?

The size of the plan mirror should be half the size of the object to get a full size image of the object

How can a spherical mirror become a plane mirror?

By increasing its radius of curvature to infinity.


What is the center of spherical mirror is called?

The center of a spherical mirror is called the vertex. This is the point where the principal axis intersects the mirror's surface.


What are the differences between plane mirror and spherical mirror?

A plane mirror is flat, so your image is the same size as you. A spherical mirror is curved. If concave it can be used either to focus an image as in a reflecting telescope, or magnify as in a shaving/makeup mirror. If convex you get a smaller wide-angled image, as in a car's wing mirror


Which mirror show virtual image of object placed in front of it?

Plane Mirror And Other Spherical Mirrors Bulged Outside, Such As Convex Mirrors


What is the center of spherical mirror?

The geometric centre of a spherical mirror is called its pole. The centre of the hollow sphere for which the mirror is a part, is called the centre of curvature. The line joining the centre of curvature and the pole is the principal axis. A light ray incident on a spherical mirror, after reflection appears to pass through the principal focus in the case of a convex mirror and passes through the focus in the case of concave mirror. The diameter of the spherical mirror gives the measure of its aperture


How is spherical aberration eliminated in a reflecting telescope?

A reflecting telescope should have a parabolic mirror in which case there is no spherical aberration. The process of turning a spherical mirror surface into a parabolic one is called 'figuring'.


Does a broken piece of a spherical mirror works as another spherical mirror?

Yes, spherical mirror is the part of a spherical reflecting surface.when it is broken the broken piece is also the part of the spherical reflecting surface.


Why concave and convex mirrors are called spherical mirrors?

Concave and convex mirrors are called spherical mirrors because their reflecting surfaces are part of a sphere. This means that if the mirror were extended to form a complete spherical shape, it would have the same radius of curvature for all points on its surface.
