When two plane mirror are kept parallel facing each other and an object is placed between them then infinite images are formedwhy why then only few images are visible actually?
In theory, an infinite number of images is formed.Now, you would notice that the images keep becoming smaller and smaller. At a certain image, due to the inaccurate position of the mirrors(it is impossible to place them exactly parallel to each other in practice), the small image will be distorted and not detected by the eye.Another factor is that real mirrors are not actually perfect reflectors... With each reflection, a bit of light is lost, so the reflected object becomes dimmer and dimmer until it can no longer be seen.
In what way does the law of reflection hold for curved mirrors?
No. I don't honestly know why just that it doesn't because my teacher said so but she could be wrong. Some teachers can be pretty stupid. Yes of course. Don't spew nonsense. It's a LAW. All you have to do to prove this point, is to draw a semi-major axis, aka tangent to any point on the curved surface, draw the normal, then reflect the incoming ray. If you do this for parallel rays coming onto the curved surface, you'll realize that the reflected rays converge at one point, the focal point, because the curved mirror acts as a lens as well.
What project can you make using convex and concave mirrors an easy project will do?
What you could do is, get 3 similar concave and convex mirrors and then place them separately. Now get 3 similar objects, like a human figure toy, and place each in front of the mirror with different settings, i.e., one at focal point, one beyond focal point and one between focal point n mirror. Each forms a different image in the mirror. You could put up a ray diagram for each setting behind it to explain why such an image is formed. Hope this helps!
What are some of the ways scientists communicate with each other?
They communicate with each other by sharing their ideas and maybe talk about their experiments together or writing to each other
How starch glycogen's and cellulose are different?
They are different by the way they are made up. They are each composed of different isomers. Cellulose is exclusively a plant product. Glycogen is nicknamed "animal starch" and is found in the liver and in muscle tissue. Plants produce starch from mono saccharides as a result of photosynthesis.
What does the term enentiomers means?
Enantiomers are molecules that are mirror images of each other. Also known as optical isomers. The two forms are different in the way that left- and right-hand gloves are different.
How many isomers does an enantiomer contain?
In Chemistry, an enantiomer are mirror images of each other. An optically active isometer has equal parts for the enantiometer. An isomer are compounds that are structured differently but have the same molecular formula.
Are left and right fingerprints mirror images of each other?
No, they are not.
What are the various subgroups of structural isomers?
Structural Isomers- differ in the covalent arrangement of their atoms Geometric Isomers- differ in spatial arrangement around double bonds Enantiomers- mirror images of each other
Which two continents are mirror images of each other?
Africa and South America.
A shape that has two halves that are mirror images of each other?
equilateral triangle
A type of symmetry in which body parts are mirror images of each other?
Bilateral Symmetry
Are cyclohexane and n-hexane isomers of each other explain?

What two continents are just like the mirror images of each other?
africa and north america
Symmetry in which an organism's body has two halves that are mirror images of each other?
I think its bilateral
What are lines that are drawn that divides a figure into two congruent sections that are mirror images of each other?
You're talking about a line of symmetry. But if the sections aremirror images of each other, then they're not congruent.
The magnetic patterns on either side of a deep-sea trench are mirror images of each other?
yes ma'am
