how does changing the shape of the mirror effect the shape and position of an image
Answers
Mirror is a very typical and complicated solid mattar.
It is a transparent glass with the coating of shiny metal such as mercury and silver.
But, mercury is used the most because the silver coating is very expensive.
Now,
from the very small age we are experienced with the plane mirror that shows us he same image as the object but the image is virtual & errect.
Then we are studying concave mirror and convex mirror
the concave mirror is curved inwardly whereas convex mirror are curved outward.
The concave mirror shows image generally real and inverted and the convex mirror shows all the image virtual and errect .
The concave mirror is helpful to the dentists and rear view mirror in cars and motor vehicles.
Whereas the convex mirror is used to see far off things and is use in side view mirror in vehicles.
location, size, orientation, and type of image formed by concave mirrors. The ray diagram constructed earlier for a convex mirror revealed that the image of the object was virtual, upright, reduced in size and located behind the mirror. But will these always be the characteristics of an image produced by a convex mirror? Can convex mirrors ever produce real images? Inverted images? Magnified Images? To answer these questions, we will look at three different ray diagrams for objects positioned at different locations along the principal axis. The diagrams are shown below.
