Question

Write a list of daily life applications based on plane and spherical mirrors

Answer 1

Every type of Mirror has many applications in real life :

There are $\textit{2 Types of Mirrors}$ -
1) $\large\bf{Plane}$
2) $\large\bf{Spherical}$

Spherical Mirror is again divided into 2 mirrors:

i) Concave
ii)Convex
______________________________

Their applications are :-

1) $\large\textbf{Plane Mirrors}$ :-

• Used as normal mirrors in day-to-day life.☺️
• Our house is full of them. ☺️

================================

2) $\large\textbf{Spherical Mirrors}$

i) $\textbf{Concave Mirror}$

• $\textbf{Make up mirror}$ - If you place you face between its Pole and Focus.☺️

• $\textbf{Head lights}$ - Bulb is placed at their focus, so the rays of Bulb reaches infinity.☺️

•$\textbf{Solar Panel}$ - The Solar Energy and Heat is concentrated at a point to maximize the output.☺️

- The recieving point is placed at its Focus, so all rays are focused at a point.☺️

• $\textbf{Cable Dishes}$ - Though they aren't mirrors but their structure is made like concave mirror and reciever is placed at theirr Focus so all radio waves are focused to get better signal.☺️

--------------------------------------------------------

ii) $\textbf{Convex Lens}$

•$\textbf{CCTV}$ - Since, convex lens form diminished images, they cover more area. Since, some shops can't afford Cctv cameras, they opt for these mirrors to keep a check on their shop through it.☺️

•$\textbf{Parking Lots}$ - Same principle as CCTV.
Since they cover large area, they're used in Parking Lots.☺️

•$\textbf{ At sharp turns}$ - Same principle again.
Since they cover large area, they're used at Sharp Turns to avoid accidents.☺️

•$\textbf{Rear View Mirror}$(In road Vehicles)-
Same principle again. Since they cover large area, they're used to look back while driving.☺️
