We view images on plane mirrors because they reflect light rays in a way that preserves the size and shape of the object being reflected. When light rays bounce off a plane mirror, they create a virtual image that appears to be behind the mirror at the same distance as the object is in front of the mirror.

What type of image does a plane image produce?

Plane mirrors produce a virtual image.


How image form in a plane mirrors?

In 'a' plane mirror only 'one' image is formed.


Why are convex mirrors used as side mirrors in cars instead of plane or concave mirrors?

Convex mirrors used as side mirrors in cars provide a wider field of view, allowing drivers to see more of their surroundings. This helps to reduce blind spots and improve overall safety while driving. Concave mirrors would distort the image and plane mirrors would not provide the same wide-angle view.


What are the advantages of using plane mirrors as rear view mirrors in vehicles?

Plane mirrors provide a wider field of view compared to curved mirrors, allowing drivers to see more of their surroundings. They also do not distort the image, providing an accurate representation of objects behind the vehicle. Additionally, plane mirrors are more affordable and easier to manufacture than curved mirrors.


Can plane and convex mirrors produce real image?

Why are plane mirrors used for self grooming?

Flat mirrors do not distort the image of the person looking into them. Thus, people grooming themselves will see themselves as they actually are, and get a better sense of how they appear to others.


Can the image formed by a plain mirror be obtained on a screen?

Plane mirrors do not create images that can be placed on a screen, only concave mirrors can.


Compare the image seen in a plane mirror with the image seen in a convex mirror.?

An image in a plane mirror is upright and the same size as the object, while in a convex mirror the image is smaller, upright, and virtual. Convex mirrors also have a wider field of view and make objects appear farther away than they actually are.


What is true of convex mirrors?

Convex mirrors diverge light rays, resulting in a virtual upright image that is smaller than the object. They have a wider field of view than concave mirrors and are commonly used in vehicle side view mirrors to provide a wider view of the surroundings.
