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.
Does a convex mirror curve inwards or outwards?
The convex mirror curves outwards while the concave mirror would curve inwards. The convex mirror traces light out making faraway objects bigger like in a telescope.
What is the difference of a concave mirror to a convex?
Concave mirror* its reflecting surface is curved inwards*it can form both real and virtual images*the centre of curvature and the focus lies in front of the mirror*it can form both enlarged and diminished imagesConvex mirror* its reflecting surface is curved outwards*it can form only virtual images*the centre of curvature and the focus lies behind the mirror*it can form only diminished images
Does curved mirror follow the law of reflection?
Yes, curved mirrors follow the law of reflection. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection at any point on the mirror's surface.
Is a hubcap a converging spherical mirror?
No, a hubcap is not a converging spherical mirror. A hubcap is a protective covering for the center of a vehicle's wheel, while a converging spherical mirror is a mirror that curves inwards to focus light rays at a point.
A mirror that's curves outward?
A "concave" mirror curves inward. A "convex" mirror curves outward.
What is a mirror that is curved?
A mirror that is curved outward is convex. A mirror that is curved inward is concave.
What are the similarities and differences between concave and convex mirrors?
Definitions found on www.dictionary.com 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 outwardsBoth concave and convex mirrors are spherical mirrorsconcave mirrora spherical mirror whose reflecting surface is curved inwards is called a concave mirrorconvex mirrora spherical mirror whose reflecting surface is curved outwards is called a convex mirror
What does concave mean?
bent or curved inwards
What is curved mirror?
It is a mirror whose reflecting surface is curved, not flat (as in a plane mirror).
A mirror that curves inwards?
Such a mirror is concave.
What is it called when a mirror bends inwards or outwards?
Convex when it bends outwards, concave when it bends inwards
How can you distinguish between a plane mirror concave mirror and a convex mirror by merely looking at the mirror?
If our image is real and inverted and smaller than the object ,then it is a concave mirror; if the image is virtual and erect and larger than the object,then it is a convex mirror; if the image is of the same size as of the object,it is a plane mirror. that is how we can distinguish or identify which of the given mirrors are what. BUT if the angle is very small you cannot tell Plane is flat, convex it curves outwards and concave it curves inwards.
Does the word 'convex' mean curved outwards or curved inwards?
The word 'convex' refers to a shape that is curved outwards. In geometric terms, a convex shape bulges outward, resembling the exterior of a sphere or a dome. This is in contrast to 'concave,' which describes a shape that curves inwards.
Is the reflecting surface of the mirror flat curved inward or curved outward?
The reflecting surface of a mirror is flat.
What are the parts of curve mirror?
what are the parts of the curved mirror
Does a Concave mirror bend light outwards or inwards?
A concave mirror bends light inwards towards a central focal point. This type of mirror can focus light rays to create a real or virtual image, depending on the distance between the object and the mirror.
