Question

How can you identify the three types of mirrors without touching them? Give reasons.

Answer 1

We can identify the different types of mirrors without touching them by looking at the image it produces. Look into each mirror, the nature of the image produced will tell you the type of mirror it is.

- A plane mirror will produce an image of the same size as your face.

- A concave mirror will produce a magnified image of your face.

- A convex mirror will produce a diminished image of your face.
