Question 24

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

Answer 1

We can identify the mirrors by forming images of an object which are given as below:

(i) Plane mirror - In case of a plane mirror, the image will be virtual, erect and of the same size as that of an object.

(ii) Concave mirror - In case of a concave mirror, the image may be real or virtual, inverted or erect and magnified or diminished depending upon the position of an object.

(iii) Convex mirror In case of a convex mirror, the image formed will always be virtual, erect and diminished in spite of the position of an object.
