well at 156 kgls the mirrors begin to angle auxtributly. this forms a slight arc and allows image distance to become negative.

Image formed by spherical mirror?

Spherical mirrors can form either real or virtual images depending on their design. Concave mirrors can form real images that are inverted if the object is placed beyond the mirror's focal point. Convex mirrors always produce virtual images that are upright and smaller than the actual object. The image characteristics will vary based on the object's distance from the mirror and the type of mirror being used.


What is the defect that all the concave spherical mirrors have?

All concave spherical mirrors have a defect known as spherical aberration, which causes light rays coming from a single point on the object to not converge at a single point after reflection, resulting in a blurred image.


What is defect that all concave spherical mirrors have?

The defect that all concave spherical mirrors have is called spherical aberration. This results in the formation of a blurred image instead of a sharp focus due to light rays focusing at different points on the mirror's surface.


What is mirror formula .explain magnification in case of spherical mirror?

The mirror formula is a relationship that connects the object distance (u), image distance (v), and focal length (f) of a spherical mirror: 1/f = 1/v + 1/u. Magnification in the case of a spherical mirror is given by the ratio of the height of the image to the height of the object: M = -v/u. The negative sign indicates that the image is inverted relative to the object.


What are the differences between plane mirror and spherical mirror?

A plane mirror is flat, so your image is the same size as you. A spherical mirror is curved. If concave it can be used either to focus an image as in a reflecting telescope, or magnify as in a shaving/makeup mirror. If convex you get a smaller wide-angled image, as in a car's wing mirror

Is image distance always taken as negative for concave mirror or lens?

In the case of concave mirrors, the image distance is typically taken as negative when the image is formed on the same side as the object (real image). However, for virtual images formed by concave mirrors, the image distance is considered positive. For concave lenses, the image distance is always taken as negative because they always produce virtual images on the same side as the object. Therefore, while there are specific conventions, the sign of the image distance depends on the type of image and optical device being used.

When an image distance is negative the image is?

When the image distance is negative, it indicates that the image is formed on the same side of the lens or mirror as the object, which typically means that the image is virtual. Virtual images cannot be projected onto a screen and are often upright and magnified. This situation commonly occurs with concave mirrors or converging lenses when the object is placed within the focal length.

What are the characteristics of images formed in a convex mirrors?

Images formed by convex mirrors are virtual, upright, and diminished in size compared to the object. They are always located behind the mirror and the image distance is negative. The image is formed by the intersection of reflected rays that appear to diverge from a point behind the mirror.


Can flat mirrors produce a real image?

No, only the virtual image will be obtained.


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.


When viewed in a spherical mirror the image of a setting is a virtual image. The image lies 12cm behind the mirror .Is this mirror concave or convex?

The mirror in this case is a convex mirror, as virtual images are formed by convex mirrors.
