How do funny mirrors disort image?

Funny mirrors distort images by either stretching or shrinking the reflected image, creating a funhouse effect. The mirrors have curved surfaces that reflect light in a non-uniform manner, resulting in a distorted reflection of the viewer.


Why and why concave mirrors are not suitable for makeup?

Concave mirrors can distort the reflection of the face, making it difficult to accurately apply makeup. The curved surface can also cause the image to appear magnified or shrunk in certain areas, leading to uneven application. Additionally, concave mirrors can create sharp, focused reflections that may not provide a true representation of how the makeup looks in natural lighting.


When is image distance negative in spherical mirrors?

In spherical mirrors, the image distance is negative when the image is formed on the same side as the object. This occurs in concave mirrors when the object is located between the focal point and the mirror, resulting in a virtual and upright image with a negative image distance.


Mirrors used to magnify images are?

concave mirrors. These mirrors have a curved surface that reflects and converge light rays to focus the image. The focal point of the mirror determines the magnification of the image.


What are the charateristics of the images in converging and diverging mirrors?

In converging mirrors (such as concave mirrors), the images formed can be real or virtual, depending on the object distance. The image is typically magnified and can be either upright or inverted. In diverging mirrors (such as convex mirrors), the image is always virtual, upright, and reduced in size.

Why do funny mirrors distort the image?

because of the light rays and the uneven surface!!!!!!!!!1


What are 3 examples of concave mirrors?

-A car's headlight, reflector lamps. -Concave mirrors can be used as makeup or shaving mirrors because an enlarged image can be obtained using a concave image. -Concave mirrors can also be mirrors used for dentists to see an enlarged image of a tooth.

Why are mirrors used in a telescope?

Mirrors are used in a telescope because they bounce images off of them instead of bending images like refracting telescopes. This ensures that the image is focuses. If you were using a refracting telescope (no mirror) the colours would be bent at different times making an unfocused image.

How do cameras use mirrors in their optical systems to capture images?

Cameras use mirrors in their optical systems to reflect and redirect light onto the image sensor, which captures the image. Mirrors help to focus the light and create a clear and sharp image.

How do you identify image on inclined mirrors?

To identify an image on inclined mirrors, you need to follow the laws of reflection. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection, so you can trace the path of light rays as they reflect off the mirrors to determine the position and characteristics of the image. Remember that the image formed will appear to be the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it.
