Question

A thick glass plate behaves like a thick _____.
Give reason for your answer too.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Thick Mirror because it reflects light.

Answer 2

mirror

Explanation:

• In the case of a thick plane mirror, reflection takes place at the two surfaces, (top and bottom surfaces) and images are formed due to both. The second surface is silvered and therefore the second image is the brightest.

• If the front surface of the mirror is silvered, only one image will be formed.
• Using glass, there are two types of mirrors, one if the reflecting material is on the forward face of the glass (typical for telescope mirrors for example) or on the backward face of the glass (typical on everyday mirrors)
