90 degrees
(That line is the normal to the mirror.)

What is the advantage of measuring the angle of reflection and angle incident on either side of the normal to the surface of the mirror?
We measure them on the either side of the mirror and not on the side of the normal to the surface of the mirror because, if the mirror or any reflecting surface is bent, then there will be a difference between the angle of incidence and angle reflection which can be avoided by measuring those angles on the either side of the mirror.
How does the distance of the object compare with the distance of the image from the plane mirror?
The distance of the object from the mirror line should equal the distance of the image from the mirror line.
An object is kept in front of a concave mirror of focal length 20cm the image is 3 times the size of the object calculate 2 possible diastances of the object from the mirror?
40cm
What is angle of Depression?
Angle of depression is the angle between a horizontal line and the line joining the observer's eye to some object beneath the horizontal line. ^_^
When an object is placed between two mirror placed parallel to each other how many images will be formed?
In theory, the answer is "an infinite number". In practice, light will be deflected away from the theoretical by small defects in the mirror and the glass in front of the mirror, as well as absorbed. These will reduce the number of images.
Where should the object be placed in order to produce a larger object behind a concave mirror?
The object should be necessarily be placed between the focal point of the concave mirror and the pole of the mirror to produce a larger image(not larger object) behind the concave mirror.
An object 5 millimeter high is located 15 millimeter in front of a plane mirror How far from the mirror is the image located?
The distance between the object and mirror is 15 mm. The distance between the image and mirror is 15 mm. Therefore, the distance between the image and object is 15 mm plus 15 mm which equals 30 mm.
Uses of a concave mirror when the object is between C and F?
then it will make an image of that object between C & infinity, which is magnified then the object.
How will you distinguish between plane mirror convex mirror and concave mirror without touching?
If the image is erect and equal in size and it does not change its size and nature on moving the mirror closer or away from the object, the mirror is plane mirror. If the image is erect and magnified and it becomes inverted on moving the mirror away from the object, the mirror is concave mirror. If the image is erect and diminished and remains erect on moving the mirror away from the object, the mirror is convex mirror.
The image formed by a convex spherical mirror will always be what?
The nature of the image is not constant. It varies with the distance between the object and the mirror.
Creates an image that appears behind the mirror as light bounces back and forth between the mirror and the object being reflected?
plane mirror
What is the distance between the image and the plane mirror if the object is at 15m?
a room
What are the 5 Properties of an image in a plane mirror?
Characteristics of an image formed by the plane mirror are :- * Virtual and erect (up right ) . * The image is of same size as that of the object . *The image is far behind the mirror as the object is in front of it . *The image is laterally inverted .
How does image change in its size and location as the object comes nearer the concave mirror?
this will depend.
What is the least possible vertical length of a mirror?
It depends completely on the object. The mirror has to be of at least half the height of the object. Otherwise there will be no image of the object on the mirror.
How can you distinguish between a plane mirror concave mirror and a convex mirror by merely looking at the mirror?
If our image is real and inverted and smaller than the object ,then it is a concave mirror; if the image is virtual and erect and larger than the object,then it is a convex mirror; if the image is of the same size as of the object,it is a plane mirror. that is how we can distinguish or identify which of the given mirrors are what. BUT if the angle is very small you cannot tell Plane is flat, convex it curves outwards and concave it curves inwards.
Is a mirror transparent object?
No, a mirror is not transparent.
