The images formed on the pupil of eye are very small but we can observe them. When a car is cleaned and polished properly, we can observe our own reflection on it. They create slightly enlarged ojects, this is why there is a text written on those mirrors “objects may appear closer than they actually are” Car body Thir mirror creates an inverted image of the object when it is located near to the mirror and an enlarged virtual image when it is located farther from the mirror. In Physics lab, we can observe many types of mirrors out of which one is concave. At barber shops, the mirrors are arranged in such a way that we can even see the back of our heads in the mirror. Mirror at barber shops are examples of plane mirror. The colour of the sky is reflected to our eyes hence we observe that the water is blue. We can see the water body appearing as blue in colour because of the reflection of blue sky. Reflection on water bodies may be considered as a reflection on plane mirror. They are also used for obseving our own reflections in the mirror. Mirrors at changing rooms are also an example of plane mirrors. We can see our reflections of the same size as that of ours. Wardrobe mirror is an example of plane mirror. The examples are given below- Wardrobe mirrors Let us discuss some of the examples where we can see mirror reflections. We all know about mirrors and their uses. The image of the object is then observed with no loss of resolution as the light gets reflected completely. This trapped light is reflected back at the same angle at which it was incident. When the light falls on mirror, the light travels through the glass but does not get through the grey paint. We are aware now that mirror is made up of glass which is painted with grey or black colour on one side and polished on other side. Image credits: Wikipedia How does mirror reflection work? The image of the object can be seen with no loss of resolution as the light gets reflected completely. When this light reflected completely after falling on the object, it is called as specular or mirror reflection of light. These three things may also take place partially, that is light may get partly absorbed, partly reflected and partly transmitted. When light falls on an object, the light may be absorbed, reflected or transmitted through the object. The out side of spoon is an example of convex mirror. This mirror is usualy used in rear view mirrors and on the crossings of road. Convex mirror– Convex mirror is a mirror bulged outwards.A spoon’s inner surface is an example of concave mirror. They can make both virtual and real iage depending on the distance of the object from the focus. Concave mirror– Concave mirrors as the name suggests makes a cave like mirror surface.This way we can see our reflection in the plane mirrors. The light falls at zero degrees with the normal and hence the reflected ray also makes zero degrees with the normal. Plane mirror/rectangular mirror– A plane mirror is a flat mirror which are usually used in our homes and malls to see our own reflections.Let us read more about these mirrors in the section below. They are- convex mirrors and concave mirrors. In reality there are two more types of mirrors that are used in Physics. We all use that mirror for looking at our reflections. Types of mirrorsĪ conventional mirror is one that is in rectangular shape. Let us discuss more about mirrors in later sections of this article. The light will reflect back with the same angle at which it was incident. The paint is applied on one side so that it does not allow the light to completely pass through the glass. It is used to reflect the light completely such that we can see virtual image of the objects (incase of plane mirrors). Mirror is a polished object made of glass which is painted on one side and polished on other. We need to keep in mind a simple fact throughout that is mirrors reflect all the incident light falling on them. This article will discuss about different types of mirrors, the type of reflections they produce and then finally discuss the examples of mirror reflections. We all are aware of what mirrors are and how we can see our reflections in it. This article discusses about mirror reflection examples.
