Does a plane mirror always form the image of an object exactly on the plane reflecting surface?
A plane mirror doesn't 'really' form an image at all. The image is 'virtual', not 'real'. You see what appears to be an image. It's located at the same distance behind the reflecting surface as the actual object is in front of it. If a real image exists, you can always put a piece of frosted glass, photo-film, or tissue paper where the image is, and capture it. You can't do that with a plane mirror.
Is plane mirror a spherical mirror why?
plane mirror is never a spherical mirror,spherical mirrors are made up by cutting the part of the sherical balls and then polishing them.while the plane mirror is just a sheet of polished glass
What is the perpendicular to a plane mirror?
The perpendicular to a plane mirror is a line that is at a 90-degree angle to the mirror's surface. It is important for understanding the reflection of light rays off the mirror's surface, as the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection with respect to this perpendicular line.
What are the differences between plane mirror and spherical mirror?
A plane mirror is flat, so your image is the same size as you. A spherical mirror is curved. If concave it can be used either to focus an image as in a reflecting telescope, or magnify as in a shaving/makeup mirror. If convex you get a smaller wide-angled image, as in a car's wing mirror
What kind of image is formed in the plane mirror?
An image in a plane mirror is created by the light rays reflecting off the reflective surface of a mirror. The image is always virtual because the light rays remain parallel, meaning they never pass through a focal point. The image is actual size, inverted, and always virtual. When light strikes a plane mirror, the angle of incidence will always equal the angle of reflection.
What is a curve mirror?
It is a mirror whose reflecting surface is curved, not flat (as in a plane mirror).
What is curved mirror?
It is a mirror whose reflecting surface is curved, not flat (as in a plane mirror).
What is the plane of a concave mirror?
The plane of a concave mirror refers to the flat surface that would be created if the mirror were extended outward from its curved surface. In optics, it serves as a reference plane for understanding the mirror's curvature and the behavior of light rays reflecting off its surface. The principal focus and the center of curvature are defined in relation to this plane, which helps in determining image formation and other optical properties.
What is the term for a mirror with a flat surface?
plane mirror
What kind of mirror has a flat surface?
plane mirror
What part of a reflecting telescope form the image?
a concave mirror and an angled plane mirror

A plane mirror is one with a surface?
flat
What is bevelling?
When something is beveled, it is cut or finished "at a slant" to a reference plane. Take a beveled mirror. The surface of the mirror is flat, but the edges are cut (ground off, actually) at an angle to the plane of the surface of the mirror. That part of the mirror that was ground down is the bevel.

What is the use of reflecting telescope?
a. concave mirror b. a convex lens c. a plane mirror or d. all the above.
