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 are two uses for a convex lens?
Concave lenses are used in glasses for people who are near-sighted. Convex lenses are used in glasses for people who are far-sighted.
What is it called when a mirror bends inwards or outwards?
Convex when it bends outwards, concave when it bends inwards
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 lies inside a flood light?
A convex mirror is present inside flood lights.
A place you might find a convex mirror?
Just by the side of the driver of a bus or lorry which is named as rear view mirror.
Which mirror is used in agra fort?
convex mirror
What are convex mirrors and how images look in it?
A convex surface means bulging out surface. A convex mirror is that spherical mirror in whichthe reflection of light takes place at the bulging out surface.A spherical mirror which is polished from hollow side, such that its reflecting surface is towards outer sideis called convex mirror. Example:-spoon
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.
Do convex mirror make things bigger or smaller and one example of where convex mirror is used?
Convex mirrors make things appear smaller as they produce virtual and diminished images. An example of where convex mirrors are used is in side-view mirrors in cars to provide a wider field of view for the driver.
When viewed in a spherical mirror the image of a setting is a virtual image. The image lies 12cm behind the mirror .Is this mirror concave or convex?
The mirror in this case is a convex mirror, as virtual images are formed by convex mirrors.
Is a torch mirror concave or convex?
it is a convex mirror as it produces diverging waves
How do you find the virtual focus in a convex mirror?
since the convex mirror is curved outwards the the focus is behind the mirror
What year was mirror mirror made?

Who invented the convex mirror?
John J. Convex
The image formed by a convex mirror?
The image formed by the convex mirror is virtual, erect and diminished.
What is a Mirror that curves out in the middle?
A concave mirror curves inward in the middle, while a convex mirror curves outward in the middle.
