Answer the following questions.

Explain the difference between a plane mirror, a concave mirror and a convex mirror with respect to the type and size of the images produced.

Plane Mirror: The image formed by plane mirror is Virtual (can’t be taken on the screen), Upright. And size of image is same as the size of the object. Also distance between object and mirror is same as the distance between mirror and image.

Concave Mirror: The image formed by concave mirror is both

real(can be taken on screen) and virtual. If image is real than it is

inverted and is found in front of mirror. If image is virtual than

image is upright and is formed behind the mirror. The size of

image can be smaller and larger than the object size depending on

the position of the object.

Convex Mirror: The image formed by convex mirror is always

virtual, upright and smaller than size of the object.
