Question

1. Differentiate between real and virtual images.
2. distinguish between regular and diffuse reflection.
3. what does the hatching in a drawing of a mirror represent?
4. what is meant by lateral inversion.
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. A real image and a virtual image are different forms of image. The main difference between real and virtual images lies in the way in which they are produced. A real image is formed when rays converge, whereas a virtual image occurs where rays only appear to diverge.

2. Regular reflection occurs at the surface of a plane surface like a plane mirror. ... Diffused reflection occurs at the surface of a rough surface like cardboard. Reflected rays after regular reflection are not parallel.

3. The hatching in a drawing of a mirror represents a non reflecting surface.

4. Lateral inversion - The phenomenon of left side appearing right side and. right side appearing left side on reflection in a plane mirror is called. lateral inversion.
