Solution
We can distinguish between a plane mirror, a concave mirror, and a convex mirror by bringing our face close to each mirror, turn by turn.
- If the image is of the same size as our face, it is a plane mirror. In-plane mirror image is of the same size as the object and also erect as compared to the object.
- If the image is magnified, it is a concave mirror. In the case of the concave mirror also the image is of the same size as an object but here it will be inverted with respect to the object.
- If the image is diminished, it is a convex mirror.
