A concave mirror is a type of mirror that can make objects appear larger than they actually are. This mirror curves inward and focuses light to create magnified images. It is often used in shaving mirrors and makeup mirrors to provide a larger view of the face.

Do convex mirror makes images closer or further?

Neither, the virtual image in all mirrors are the same distance aren't they? But if you mean, does it make it larger or smaller, then I'm pretty sure that it makes it larger :) or "magnified" is the technical term =P


Why are objects in a passenger mirror larger than they appear?

The mirror is slightly convex (domed outward). This gives the mirror a larger viewing area. The trade-off for this larger viewing area is that objects seem smaller. One way to think about it is that you are viewing more stuff in the same size mirror. To fit more stuff in your view, the stuff you are viewing must be smaller.


Will a concave or a convex mirror make you larger?

A concave mirror will make you appear larger. The mirror curves inward, causing light rays to converge and creating a magnified image of the object being reflected.


How much larger will a room appear if one wall of the room consists of a larger plane mirror?

it will appear twice as large because you are also seeing a reflection of the room.


Does your head appear bigger when you stand in front of a mirror?

No, the size of your head does not actually change when you stand in front of a mirror. As mirrors reflect back what is in front of them, your head will appear the same size regardless of your proximity to the mirror. The perception of size may change based on distance and angles, but your actual head size remains constant.


Why do objects in rearview mirrors appear closer than they are?

The mirror is convexed so it sees a larger area. If you see a larger area in the same size mirror then it is reasonable to understand that things are smaller which corresponds to further away. So, you must mentally realize that they are closer.


What will happen to your image in the mirror if you step closer to it?

If you step closer to the mirror, your image will appear larger and more detailed due to the proximity of the reflective surface. It may also appear distorted if you get too close due to the mirror's curvature or imperfections.


Why are objects in a car mirror closer than they appear?

There is a plane mirror on the driver's side and a convex mirror on the passenger's side. The reason only the passenger mirror is convex is because you are farther away from it. The angular view provided by farther mirror of the same physical size produces a similarly smaller reflected field of view. The convex mirror provides a larger field of view- one that should be comparable to the closer drivers mirror.


What cost the mirror to get foggy when you breathe on it?

When you breathe on a mirror, the moisture in your breath changes from a gas to tiny droplets of liquid on the mirror's surface. This causes the mirror to appear foggy or misty until the liquid evaporates and the mirror becomes clear again.


Is a plane mirror a virtual or real image?

A plane mirror forms a virtual image because the reflected rays do not actually converge to form an image behind the mirror, but appear to diverge from a point behind the mirror.


How does the size of the image change as the object gets closer to the mirror?

As the object moves closer to a mirror, the image size increases. This is because the angle of reflection becomes larger, causing the image to appear larger as well. The image size will continue to increase as the object gets closer to the mirror.


Which Mirror Shows Lateral Inversion?

A plane mirror shows lateral inversion, where objects appear reversed from left to right. This phenomenon occurs because the mirror reflects light rays in a way that causes the image to be flipped horizontally.
