15.5
Take a stainless steel spoon. Bring the
outer side of the spoon near your face
and look into it. Do you see your image
in it (Fig. 15.10)? Is this image different
from what you see in a plane mirror? Is
this image erect? Is the size of the image
the same, smaller or larger?​

Now look at your image using the inner side of the spoon. This time you may find that your image is erect and larger in size. If you increase the distance of the spoon from your face, you may see your image inverted. You can also compare the image of your pen or pencil instead of your face.

You can also compare the image of your pen or pencil instead of your face.The curved shining surface of a spoon acts as a mirror. The most common example of a curved mirror is a spherical mirror. If the reflecting surface of a spherical mirror is concave, it is called a concave mirror. If the reflecting surface is convex, then it is a convex mirror.

If the reflecting surface is convex, then it is a convex mirror.The inner surface of a spoon acts like a concave mirror, while its outer surface acts like a convex mirror. We know that the image of an object formed by a plane mirror cannot be obtained on a screen. Let us investigate if it is also true for the image formed by a concave mirror.

Answer 2

Answer:

If you increase the distance of the spoon from your face, you may see your image inverted. You can also compare the image of your pen or pencil instead of your face. The curved shining surface of a spoon acts as a mirror.
