PhysicsHow Image formed by a Convex Mirror In a convex mirror irrespective of the position of the object, the image formed is always virtual, erect but diminished in size. The image lies…
PhysicsHow Images formed by a Spherical Mirror The images produced by spherical mirror may be either real or virtual and may be either larger or smaller than the object. The image can…
PhysicsHow Reflection occur at Curved Surfaces Reflection at Curved Surfaces: In optics here concerned with curved mirrors which are the part of a hollow sphere (figure). One surface of the mirror…
PhysicsCharacteristics of the Image Formed by a Plane Mirror Characteristics of the image formed by a plane mirror (i) Image formed by a plane mirror is as far behind the mirror as the object…
PhysicsWhat is Real Image? A real image is an image which is focused in the plane of convergence for the light rays that actually from a given object. If a convergent…
PhysicsWhat is Virtual Image? An object placed in front of a plane mirror has an image behind the mirror. The rays reflected from the mirror do not actually meet…
PhysicsDescribe Image in a Plane Mirror Image in a Plane Mirror: Let consider a point object A placed in front of a plane mirror M as shown in the Figure. Consider…
PhysicsExplain Deviation of Light due to Rotation of a Mirror A ray of light is the path along which the lights travel. Rays are observable. They travel along the straight line in a similar homogeneous…
PhysicsExplain Deviation of Light by Plain Mirror Deviation of Light by Plain Mirror: Consider a ray of light, AO, incident on a plane mirror XY (Figure) at O. It is reflected along…
