Question

You are given three mirrors of different types. How will you identify each one of them? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

The three different types of mirrors can be identified by forming the images. Plane mirror forms an erect image which is of the same size as the object. ... The image can be smaller or larger in size than the object. Convex mirror always produces virtual and upright images.

Answer 2

If I am given 3 mirrors of different types I will use the following criteria to identify them:

1. I will check whether the mirror is plane or spherical
2. I will check which side of the mirror is reflecting and which is dark
3. I will check the nature of the images formed by them (real, virtual, erect, magnified, small, large, point size)
4. I will check reflection of object in the mirrors

In this way I will identify the mirrors given to me
