What else can I help you with?
Is the reflecting surface of the mirror flat curved inward or curved outward?
The reflecting surface of a mirror is flat.
Why is the mirror of a microscope curved on one side and flat on the other?
The curved side of the mirror is concave and focuses the light onto the specimen, improving visibility and resolution. The flat side then reflects the light up to the eyepiece for viewing. This combination allows for clearer and magnified images when using a microscope.
Does the law of reflection apply to curved and flat mirrors?
The law of reflection is valid for any ray of light. So it is also valid for curved and flat surfaces. For curved surfaces, the normal is taken as the normal to the tangent of the point where the light ray hits the surface.
What is difference between plane mirror and mirror?
A plane mirror is a type of mirror that has a flat surface, whereas a mirror is a broad term used to describe any reflective surface. Plane mirrors reflect images with virtually no distortion, while mirrors can come in various shapes and sizes like concave or convex mirrors with specific reflective properties.
What is the name of a mirror that is flat?
A flat mirror is generally referred to simply as a flat mirror. It is a mirror with a flat reflective surface that does not have any curvature.
What is curved mirror?
It is a mirror whose reflecting surface is curved, not flat (as in a plane mirror).
Is the reflecting surface of the mirror flat curved inward or curved outward?
The reflecting surface of a mirror is flat.
What is a curve mirror?
It is a mirror whose reflecting surface is curved, not flat (as in a plane mirror).
What is a mirror that is curved?
A mirror that is curved outward is convex. A mirror that is curved inward is concave.
Why is one side of the mirror flat and the other side curved in a microscope?
The flat side of the mirror in a microscope is used to reflect light onto the specimen being observed. This flat mirror allows for even illumination of the specimen. The curved side of the mirror is concave and is used to focus the light onto the specimen, enhancing the clarity and resolution of the image. This combination of a flat and curved mirror optimizes the lighting and imaging capabilities of the microscope.
How does a curved mirror help a car driver?
It gives you a wider area of vision than a standard flat mirror. Less blind spots.
Can a plane mirror be called a spherical mirror?
No. The two terms are mutually exclusive; something cannot be both flat and curved at the same time.
Why is the mirror of a microscope curved on one side and flat on the other?
The curved side of the mirror is concave and focuses the light onto the specimen, improving visibility and resolution. The flat side then reflects the light up to the eyepiece for viewing. This combination allows for clearer and magnified images when using a microscope.
How is an image seen in a plane mirror with the image in a convex mirror different?
Concave: a curved like a segment of the interior of a circle or hollow sphere; hollow and curved Convex:having a surface that is curved or rounded outwards plane-a flat mirror
Do all mirrors have flat surfaces?
No; I have a convex mirror that is a x 10 magnification, great for plucking eyebrows I can tell you and it is curved.
