What is the purpose of using thick plane mirror?
Answers
Explanation:
when thickness is higher in a plane mirror it acts as two surfaces instead of a single surface. →So it can form multiple images but only one image will be brighter than any other whose fully reflected from the silver surface mirror.
Answer:
when thickness is higher in a plane mirror it acts as two surfaces instead of a single surface.
→So it can form multiple images but only one image will be brighter than any other whose fully reflected from the silver surface mirror.
→As we can see in the figure that when the rays are projected on the mirror they get reflected partially by the first surface and form the first image then they go to the silvered mirror and fully reflect from the silvered surface mirror and the second image is formed.
→Hence the second image will be brightest than only other images
→When multiple reflections take place further images are formed due to partial reflections.

Types of Mirrors:
Plane Mirror
→These mirrors are flat and these reflect images in their normal proportions, reversed from left to right. This is the most common type of mirror used in houses and hair cutting salons.
Consider Properties of images formed by the plane mirror.
→The image formed by the plane mirror is virtual.
→The image is erect.
→The size of the image is exactly the same as the actual object.
