What shape is a concave mirror and what do things look like in it?
A concave mirror bulges away from the incident light. The image of an object depends on where exactly the object is placed - relative the to focal length of the mirror. See the attached link for more details.
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
Focal length of a concave mirror?
1/object distance + 1/ image distance = 1/focal length
What kind of image is created when an object is placed in front of a plane mirror?
A virtual erect image of the same size of the object is formed.
A candle is placed on the principal axis of a concave mirror at a distance of 20 cm from the mirror the focal length of the mirror is 10cm the image formed will be?
Use 1/s + 1/s' = 1/f s = 20cm f = +10cm (positive since the mirror is concave) 1/s'=1/f - 1/s 1/s'=1/10 - 1/20 = 1/20 So, s'=20cm. The distance from the image to the mirror is 20cm, which is not surprising, since the object placed at 1/2 of the focal length and therefore exactly at the radius of curvature point. The image is real and inverted.
Can you Describe the images formed in a concave mirror?
The concave mirror focusses images to its focal point. So the images formed are real inverted and increases in size as the distance between the aperture and the object decreases. When the object is placed between the focus and the aperture the image formed is virtual erect and magnified.
Describe the images formed in a concave mirror and in a convex mirror?
Here is a description of image formation in a concave mirror: if the object is beyond the center of curvature (F), the image formed is real and upside down; if the object is very near to the concave mirror, the image forms behind the mirror. It is virtual, upright, and bigger in size. Here is a description of image formation in a convex mirror: a convex mirror always produces a virtual, upright, and smaller image of the object at any distance in front of it. The image is located behind the mirror.
Why the image formed in the mirror used in vehicles as rear view mirror is smaller in size than the object?
because the mirror used is concave mirror.
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.
What are the properties of images seen in a concave mirror if the object is farther from than the focal point?
The image formed is real, inverted, diminished and on the same side of the mirror as the object is.
Which type of image formed by concave mirror?
A concave mirror forms a virtual, magnified, right side up image.
What is meant by focus of a concave mirror?
the point at which image is formed when light rays come parallel from an object at infinity.
How is the image formed by a concave lens similar to the image formed by a convex mirror?
In a concave lens the object always forms a virtual image. The convex lens also forms a virtual image.
Why do images in a concave mirror appear inverted?
If an object's distance from the concave mirror is greater than the mirror's focal length, then the mirror image of it will be inverted. If the distance from the concave mirror is less than the focal length of the mirror, the image will not be inverted. No image will be produced if the distance from the mirror to the object is equal to the mirror's focal length.
Is a virtual and inverted image formed by a concave mirror?
Your right! You see technically we see up side down but with the light we see right side up so what that means is yes it is upside down. Well, since the brain doesn't turn it "right side up" it could be either way that you look at it.
When a small object is placed between a concave mirror and its focal point. what is the type and orientation of the image formed?
erect, magnified, and virtual
Which mirror can produce virtual image larger than the object?
A concave mirror.
