Question

How can you distinguish plane concave and convex mirror?

Answer 1

Explanation:

• if you look into plane mirror, you will find your image size same that of your size.

• if you look into concave mirror, you can see enlarged image and an inverted image.

• if you look at convex mirror, you image size will always small and erect.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Plane mirror :

• plane mirror are used in various activities in our day to day life
• A mirror is made by coating the black surfaces of a flat and smooth glass piece with a thin, reflecting film of almunium or silver.

Concave mirror :

• If the inner surface of the spherical mirror is the reflecting surfaces, then it is called a concave mirror.
• A concave mirror is also called a focusing mirror.

Covex mirror :

• if the outer surfaces of the spherical mirror is the reflecting surfaces then it is called a convex mirror.
• A convex mirror is also clef a dispersing mirror.

Always remember :

The image in front of the mirror which can be obtained on a screen is called a real image. for any position of the object, a convex mirror always produced an erect diminished image. (which is smaller than the object) and is suited behind the mirror. The image which is behind the mirror and thus cannot be obtained on a screen is called a virtual image. The magnification of such an image is less than 1.

Hope this is helpful.
