What type of image does a Convex mirror produce and Why?
A convex mirror produces a virtual image, because the principle light rays incident on the mirror surface from the object must pass through the focal point on the other side of the mirror (virtually), and so the image appears at a depth behind the mirror's surface. The three principle rays that form the focused image are: 1. The ray from the top of the object, parallel to the line passing through the center of the convex mirror, must pass through the focal point behind the mirror's surface. 2. The ray that passes from the top of the object and through the focal point in front of the mirror, comes through the mirror (virtually) parallel to the center line. 3. The ray that passes from the top of the object to the point where the surface of the mirror and the center line intersect, the reflection of which is traced back through the mirror's surface at the same angle as the reflected angle. The place behind the mirror where these rays intersect is the placement of the virtual image.
What type of diagram shows how a convex lens refracts light?
You can look at this website: http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/gbssci/Phys/Class/refln/u13l4c.html. The images at the top of the page show the rays different positions on convex mirrors.
What are 5 uses of a concave lens?
The convex lenses can be used in magnifying glasses. They are thicker in the center than in the edges. They are also used in the glasses of those affected with farsightedness. The shape of the lenses used for our eyes is also convex so as to allow it to fit snugly into the eye in shape.
What is the meaning of fucos in science?
You may mean: 1. focus, the place where the rays from a lens or mirror all cross at a point; the place where an image appears sharp; 2. fucose, a type of de-oxy sugar involved in cell biology.
Which type of telescope uses concave mirrors to increase the size of the image being viewed?
Refracting
What type of image does a convex mirror formed?
Convex mirror forms a virtual image.
Why can convex mirrors form only one type of image?
Convex mirror form only one image(virtual) because it diverges light rays(beam).
What type of mirror you should use to obtained diminished and virtual image of an object?
convex mirror
What type of image is formed in a mirror?
Different mirrors form different types of images. A convex mirror forms smaller, upright, and virtual images. They are also located behind the mirror.
What type of lens form a virtual image?
A convex lense forms only a virtual image.
What type of mirror can be used to form a magnified image?
concave mirror
What type of mirror is used in bathrooms?
It depends what the intended use is. An 'ordinary' mirror - is flat, while a shaving mirror is usually convex - making the image seem larger.
What type of mirror makes security mirrors?
Convex mirrors are used in security settings. They gather an image from a wider area than a flat mirror.
What type of mirror is a side view mirror?
Its called a Convex Mirror
Which type of mirror can form a real image?
Concave mirrors
Which type of mirror is used in the headlights of vehicles?
convex mirror
Which type of mirror causes light to spread out?
a convex mirror
