What are the properties of refletion?
Reflection is the bouncing back of light when it strikes a surface. It follows the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Reflection can produce a clear image in a mirror or a shiny surface.
Which spherical mirror has a virtual focus-concave or convex?
A concave mirror has a virtual focus. This is because the rays of light that are incident on a concave mirror are reflected and appear to diverge from a point behind the mirror, creating a virtual focus.
Imagine you are standing in front of a mirror facing it Raise your left hand Raise your right hand Look at your reflection When you raise your left hand your reflection raises what appears to be his r?
When I raise my left hand, my reflection raises what appears to be its right hand. This occurs due to the mirror's reflective properties where left and right are reversed. So, my reflection's right side aligns with my left side, creating the illusion of switching hands.
Is a convex mirror thin in the middle and thick at the edged?
No, that's concave Convex is thin at the edges and thick in the middle.
When a wave is reflected from a mirror there is a change in its what?
Direction. When a wave is reflected from a mirror, its direction changes according to the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
What is a reflection in the mirror called?
A reflection in the mirror is called a mirror image. Mirror images are the virtual images that we see when looking at our reflection in a mirror.
What is the reflection from a mirror called?
Just that: reflection. There can be a virtual image, an imaginary image, an inverted image etc depenting on the shape of the surface of the mirror.
What is your reflection in a mirror called?
The reflection of an object in a mirror is called a virtual image. This image appears to be behind the mirror, but it is not a physical object.
What is meant when it is said that an image is behind the mirror?
When an image is said to be "behind the mirror," it means that the image appears to be located at a point behind the mirror's surface. This is a virtual image formed by the mirror's reflection properties, where the light rays do not actually converge at that point but appear to originate from it due to how we perceive reflection.
How does a plane mirror affect light?
A plane mirror reflects light without changing its properties. The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection, and the image formed is virtual and laterally inverted.
Properties of plane mirror?
Plane mirrors produce virtual and upright images that are the same size as the object. They exhibit specular reflection, meaning they reflect light with minimal scattering. The image distance is equal to the object distance from the mirror, and the image is laterally inverted.
What is the reflection that you see in a mirror called?
The reflection that you see in a mirror is called a virtual image. This virtual image appears to be behind the mirror at the same distance as the object is in front of the mirror. It is formed when light rays reflect off the mirror surface and converge at a point, creating the illusion of an image.
How a plane mirror forms a virtual image?
every plane mirror has a lining of silver on its back...which makes reflection possible

What type of reflection formes an image?
A concave mirror forms a real or virtual image, depending on the object's distance from the mirror and the mirror's focal length.
Explain why you can you see objects in a mirror?
You can see objects in a mirror because it reflects light off of the objects and into your eyes. This reflection creates a virtual image of the object that appears to be behind the mirror's surface.
What is focal point of convex mirror?
The focal point of a convex mirror is located behind the mirror, which means it is a virtual focal point. Light rays that are parallel to the mirror's principal axis will appear to diverge from the virtual focal point after reflection.
