the curved mirrors are trick mirrors and flat mirrors are the one's that you use at home
The reflecting surface of a mirror is flat.
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.
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.
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.
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.
It is a mirror whose reflecting surface is curved, not flat (as in a plane mirror).
The reflecting surface of a mirror is flat.
It is a mirror whose reflecting surface is curved, not flat (as in a plane mirror).
A mirror that is curved outward is convex. A mirror that is curved inward is concave.
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.
It gives you a wider area of vision than a standard flat mirror. Less blind spots.
No. The two terms are mutually exclusive; something cannot be both flat and curved at the same time.
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.
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
No; I have a convex mirror that is a x 10 magnification, great for plucking eyebrows I can tell you and it is curved.
