what is plane mirror
Answers
Answer:
A plane mirror is a mirror with a flat (planar) reflective surface. For light rays striking a plane mirror, the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence. The angle of the incidence is the angle between the incident ray and the surface normal (an imaginary line perpendicular to the surface)

Uses of plane mirrors
They are used in periscopes, for signalling, in kaleidoscopes, to see round dangerous bends, in meters, as mirror tiles, in a sextant, in an overhead projector, an SLR camera, car wing mirrors, in microscopes and as reflecting number plates to mention only some!
