The flat side of the mirror in a microscope is used to reflect light onto the specimen being observed. This flat mirror allows for even illumination of the specimen. The curved side of the mirror is concave and is used to focus the light onto the specimen, enhancing the clarity and resolution of the image. This combination of a flat and curved mirror optimizes the lighting and imaging capabilities of the microscope.

How many flat surfaces and curved surfaces does a cylinder have?
2 flat and 1 curved
Is a cone shape a flat or curved surface?
curved
Does a cylinder have a curved and flat surface?
Yes, a cylinder has both curved and flat surface. Considering a solid cylinder standing on its end, the circular base and the circular top are flat surfaces. The surface connecting the top and bottom is curved.
What shape has 1 curved face 1 flat face and the flat face is a circle?
A cone. It has a circle for the base, and a curved face tapering to a point.
Which shape has 1 curved face and 1 flat face?
A sphere sliced by a plane; or a cone.
Why is the mirror of a microscope curved on one side and flat on the other?
The curved side of the mirror is concave and focuses the light onto the specimen, improving visibility and resolution. The flat side then reflects the light up to the eyepiece for viewing. This combination allows for clearer and magnified images when using a microscope.
What is curved mirror?
It is a mirror whose reflecting surface is curved, not flat (as in a plane mirror).
Is the reflecting surface of the mirror flat curved inward or curved outward?
The reflecting surface of a mirror is flat.
What is a curve mirror?
It is a mirror whose reflecting surface is curved, not flat (as in a plane mirror).
What is the difference of curved mirror and flat mirror?
Curved mirrors have a reflective surface that is curved inward or outward, causing light rays to converge or diverge. This allows curved mirrors to form both real and virtual images. In contrast, flat mirrors have a flat reflective surface and only produce virtual images that are the same size as the object.
How is an image seen in a plane mirror with the image in a convex mirror different?
Concave: a curved like a segment of the interior of a circle or hollow sphere; hollow and curved Convex:having a surface that is curved or rounded outwards plane-a flat mirror
How does a curved mirror help a car driver?
It gives you a wider area of vision than a standard flat mirror. Less blind spots.
Can a plane mirror be called a spherical mirror?
No. The two terms are mutually exclusive; something cannot be both flat and curved at the same time.
Do all mirrors have flat surfaces?
No; I have a convex mirror that is a x 10 magnification, great for plucking eyebrows I can tell you and it is curved.
What is the center of curvature of a plane mirror?
A plane mirror is not curved so it does not have a center of curvature. Or if you want to be mathematically correct, you could say that it's center of curvature is at an infinite distance from the mirror.
Does the law of reflection apply to curved and flat mirrors?
The law of reflection is valid for any ray of light. So it is also valid for curved and flat surfaces. For curved surfaces, the normal is taken as the normal to the tangent of the point where the light ray hits the surface.
What is the name of a mirror that is flat?
A flat mirror is generally referred to simply as a flat mirror. It is a mirror with a flat reflective surface that does not have any curvature.
