Nature of plane mirror :- 1) The image formed by the plane mirror is virtual and erect i.e. image cannot be projected or focused on a screen. 2) The distance of the image ‘behind’ the mirror is the same as the distance of the object in front of the mirror. The size of 3) the image formed …
A plane mirror is a mirror with a flat (planar) reflective surface. A plane mirror is made using some highly reflecting and polished surface such as a silver or aluminium surface in a process called silvering. After silvering, a thin layer of red lead oxide is applied at the back of the mirror.
Place a lighted candle in front of a plane mirror. Try to see the flame of the candle in the mirror. It appears as if a similarcandle is placed behind the mirror. The candle, which appears behind the mirror, is the image of the candle formedby the mirror
When a ray of light falls on any object (polished, smooth, shiny object), light from that object bounces back those rays of light to our eyes and this is known as “Reflection” or “Reflection of Light”.
1)Light is an electromagnetic wave . 2)Light travels in a vacuum as well as transparent medium. 3) It makes vision possible. 4)electromagnetic radiation of any wavelength that travels in a vacuum with a speed of 299,792,458 meters (about 186,000 miles) per second . 5) such radiation that is visible to the human eye.
