Ray Diagram and Image Formation
Differences Between Plane Mirror and Curved Mirror
Uses and Applications of Plane Mirror
Ans. The focal length of a plane mirror is infinity. Q.2. Can a plane mirror form multiple images? Ans. Yes. If two or more plane mirrors are placed at a certain angle, then multiple images can be formed. Q.3. How many images are formed by two parallel plane mirrors? Ans. Two parallel plane mirrors can form an infinite number of images. Q.4. Why are ordinary plane mirrors coated on the back? Ans. Ordinary plane mirrors are coated at the back so that the incident ray is reflected from the back surface instead of the front surface. The front surface can be damaged easily due to scratches and watermarks. Q.5. Can a plane mirror form an inverted image? Ans.No. A plane mirror cannot form an inverted image.
