Which mirror is called converging mirror?
Parallel rays approaching the mirror are reflected in a converging manner to a focal point.
Under what condition does a concave mirror behaves as a plane mirror?
when the converging ray of light do not meet at a point, it moves parallelly then under this condition does concave mirror behaves as a plane mirrror.
What is another name for a convex lens?
Concave and convex can refer the types of lenses used to treat refractive errors in the eyes. Concave is another word for myopic lens and convex is another name for a hyperopic lens also known as nearsighted and farsighted respectively
How do a concave mirror and convex mirror differ?
A concave mirror, or converging mirror, has a reflecting surface that bulges inward (away from the incident light). A convex mirror, fish eye mirror or diverging mirror, is a curved mirror in which the reflective surface bulges toward the light source.
Does a torch use a concave mirror or convex mirror?
Concave
Why a side mirror is never a concave mirror?
A concave mirror would focus the light back towards the focal point of the mirror. You would not be able to use the mirror effectively with a concave.
The kind of mirror use in searchlight is what?
A concave mirror :)
How do i use a concave mirror in microscope?
mirror / salamin
Does a flashlight use a concave mirror or convex mirror?
It uses a concave mirror in order for the light to be concentrated to point forward.
What is the different between concave and convex mirror light?
Concave mirror would have the surface curved out get coated with mercury hence curved in surface would reflect the rays fallen on. But convex mirror would have the surface curved in get coated with mercury hence curved out surface would reflect the rays fallen on. Concave mirror would have both converging and diverging ability. When light coming from an object placed at a distance higher than its focal length right from the pole of the mirror, converging takes place. But the object lies in between pole and the focus diverging action. But in convex mirror irrespective of the placement of the object only diverging phenomenon. Concave mirror used as shaving mirror and dentists too use them Convex mirror is used as rear view mirror in case of vehicles near by the driver.
What are the characteristics of a concave mirror?
A concave mirror is a converging mirror used in microscopes and telescopes. Characteristics include forming real and inverted and diminished images when an object is placed beyond the center of curvature or real, inverted and enlarged image when the object is placed between the center of curvature and focus.
Is concave mirror in shape of parabola?
no concave mirror is in shape of concave mirror
