A concave mirror.
A plane (flat) mirror reflects an image which is the same size and shape, and colour as the object in front of the mirror. A concave mirror can produce a magnified image. If the image is in front of the mirror it is a real image; if behind it is a virtual (non-real) image. A real image can be cast upon a white the best) surface
The magnification factor (m) for a convex mirror is defined as the ratio of the image height (h') to the object height (h), expressed as ( m = \frac{h'}{h} ). For a convex mirror, the magnification is always positive and less than 1, indicating that the image is virtual, upright, and smaller than the object. The formula for magnification can also be expressed in terms of the object distance (u) and the image distance (v) as ( m = -\frac{v}{u} ), where both v and u are negative for a convex mirror.
a plain mirror does not have any convex or concave curve and thus the light that is reflected does not change in shape.the object never changes, but the image (which is the object seen in the mirror) is not tangible and is only a picture of the object.so the image and the object are the same because there is no distortion in a plain mirror.falsetrue - apexBecause of the first law of thermodynamics.
Bilateral symmetry
Yes. In convex mirrors, the image is always erect and diminished, at whatever distance the object may be in front of the mirror. The convex mirror has a wide field of view and hence is used as a rear view( or driving) mirror in vehicles, to view the traffic behind.
if the focal length is greater than the object distance from the lens
Yes, the image in a concave mirror can be larger than the object if the object is placed between the focus and the mirror. This creates a virtual, magnified image.
A concave mirror can give a virtual and larger image than the object when the object is placed within the focal length of the mirror. When the object is placed beyond the focal point, a real, inverted, smaller image is formed.
The object should be placed beyond the focal point of the concave mirror. This will produce a larger, magnified image located behind the mirror. By positioning the object past the focal point, the reflected rays will converge to form an image that is larger compared to the object.
A converging mirror will not produce a real image if the object is placed between the focal point and the mirror. In this case, the mirror will produce a virtual image on the same side as the object.
if the focal length is greater than the object distance from the lens
To get a virtual upright and smaller image from a convex mirror, place the object in front of the mirror but between its focal point and the mirror. This will produce a virtual image on the same side as the object that is upright and smaller than the object.
Yes, a concave mirror can produce both virtual and real images. When the object is placed beyond the focal point, a real inverted image is formed. When the object is placed between the mirror and the focal point, a virtual upright image is produced.
A plane mirror does not produce magnification on an object. It produces a virtual image that is the same size as the object and has the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror.
No, for a concave mirror the object will become larger. it is virtual the right way up and it is behind the mirror
A concave mirror can produce only virtual images that are the same size as the object when the object is placed at the focal point of the mirror. This is known as the case of magnification of +1.
No, a plane mirror will always produce a virtual image regardless of whether the object is real or virtual. The image appears to be behind the mirror and is not a real image that can be projected onto a screen.
