I use a mirror with a slight convex curve - like the outside of a spoon, but a lot less bent. But it's hard to find a good one. If you fasten a flat mirror most places on a bicycle, the mirror image will shake around so you can't see it. Also, in a convex mirror, you can see more of the road. But if it's too much bent, too round, then the image is distorted and you can't judge where a vehicle in the mirror really is.

The last mirror I bought was described as convex, but actually is flat, so I'm planning to get a piece of car mirror glass cut by a glazier to fit in the frame. That glass is just a little convex.

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


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.


How can you distinguish between a plane concave and a convex mirror without touching them?

One way to distinguish between a plane concave and convex mirror without touching them is to observe their reflected images. A concave mirror will produce an upright and magnified image of an object placed in front of it, while a convex mirror will produce an upright and diminished image. Another way is to look at the reflection of a distant object – a concave mirror will form a real image, while a convex mirror will create a virtual image.

Which does not form a real image?

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.


Which optical instrument uses a large concave mirror a plane mirror and a convex lens to gather light focus and enlarge an image?

Astronomical telescopes use a large concave mirror, a plane mirror, and a convex lens in their design. The concave mirror gathers light, the plane mirror reflects it to a more convenient viewing location, and the convex lens magnifies and focuses the image for observation.


How many different shapes of mirror surface are there?

Four. Plane, Concave, Convex, and Curved


What types of image can concave mirrors from?

A concave mirror can show both vitual and real images, a plane mirror can show virtual and so can a convex mirror. 0.0


What is the use of reflection?

a. concave mirror b. a convex lens c. a plane mirror or d. all the above.


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.


Which is correct plane mirror or plain mirror?

A plane mirror is a flat, as opposed to convex or concave, mirror.A plain mirror is just a ordinary mirror as used in a household. These are usually flat mirrors so they are also plane mirrors.Many households have small bathroom mirrors which magnify in this case they would be concave plain mirrors and not concave plane mirrors
