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

This is NOT true. A plane mirror is flat while a concave mirror is curved

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 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 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
What are the different kinds of mirrors and images formed on them?
Different types of mirrors can do different things. A regular flat mirror is good for looking at your reflection; curved mirrors can give you a magnified image or focus light, either for use as a solar furnace, or as part of a larger optical system such as a telescope. Aside from that, there are the usual consumer variations; mirrors can be large or small, cheap or expensive, elaborately framed or simple, much like other consumer products.
What happens to light that passes through a convex lens?
Light travelling through a concave lens will spread out. In most optical systems that use a concave lens, such as a telescope that needs to magnify the focal plane image, this is a desirable effect.
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.
Compare the image seen in a plane mirror with the image seen in a convex mirror.?
one is more diminished than the other
How can you distinguish between a plane mirror concave mirror and a convex mirror by merely looking at the mirror?
If our image is real and inverted and smaller than the object ,then it is a concave mirror; if the image is virtual and erect and larger than the object,then it is a convex mirror; if the image is of the same size as of the object,it is a plane mirror. that is how we can distinguish or identify which of the given mirrors are what. BUT if the angle is very small you cannot tell Plane is flat, convex it curves outwards and concave it curves inwards.
What the difference between the virtual image created by a concave and plane and a convex mirror?
THough all are erect, in concave it will be enlarged in plane mirror of the same size as the object but in convex mirror it will be dimished
Which does not form a real image?
(1)A plane mirror (2)A convex mirror (3)A concave lens
Does not form a real image?
(1)A plane mirror (2)A convex mirror (3)A concave lens
How can you distinguish between a plane concave and a convex mirror without touching them?
the image in the concave mirror will be real and inverted
How will you distinguish between plane mirror convex mirror and concave mirror without touching?
If the image is erect and equal in size and it does not change its size and nature on moving the mirror closer or away from the object, the mirror is plane mirror. If the image is erect and magnified and it becomes inverted on moving the mirror away from the object, the mirror is concave mirror. If the image is erect and diminished and remains erect on moving the mirror away from the object, the mirror is convex mirror.
Which mirror produces an erect diminished virtual image?
A mirror which produces an erect diminshed virtual image is a)concave mirror b)convex mirror c)plane mirror d)none of these
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 kind of mirror produce only virtual image?
Plane and convex mirrors produce only virtual images.
