Image formed by a plane mirror is :

Physics
1 answer:
Kruka [31]3 years ago
4 0
<h2>Concept :- </h2>

The plane mirror has flat reflecting surface and the angle of reflection is always equal to the angle of incidence. The image formed by a plane mirror is located in front of the mirror but appears to be formed behind the plane in which the mirror lies. To find the nature of the image formed by a plane mirror. We need to study the reflection through a plane mirror.plane mirror has flat reflecting surface and the angle of reflection is always equal to the angle of incidence. The image formed by a plane mirror is located in front of the mirror but appears to be formed behind the plane in which the mirror lies. To find the nature of the image formed by a plane mirror. We need to study the reflection through a plane mirror.

<h2>Required Answer :- </h2>

→ image formed by a plane mirror is : <u>virtual, behind the mirror and of the same size as the object</u>

<h2>Additional information :-</h2>

  • Plane mirrors are the only type of optical mirror for which a real object produces an image that is virtual, erect, and of the same size of the object. The virtual objects produce a real image. The focal length of a plane mirror is defined as infinity, and its optical power is zero.

  • The image formed by a plane mirror is erect, laterally inverted, and of the same size as that of the object. The left side of the object appears on the right side of the image. Also, the distance of the image from the plane mirror is same as the distance between the plane mirror and the object.

  • Plane mirrors are used as looking glass.

  • Plane mirrors also have many scientific uses. In most of the measuring instruments, a plane mirror is placed under the scale and pointer. When the pointer moves, the image in the plane mirror also moves.

  • Now the eye is so placed that the pointer covers its own image, and thus the pointer and its image coincides. Thus the eye, the pointer and its image in the mirror are in the same line perpendicular to the scale. This helps in getting the correct reading.

  • Plane mirrors are also used in constructing periscope which is used in submarines.

  • Plane mirrors are used in solar cookers.

  • Plane mirrors are used to make kaleidoscope, a toy which produces beautiful patterns from colored paper, pieces of glass or small colored beads.

Which of the following lies in the ecliptic plane?
babymother [125]
<h2>Answer: Earth's orbital path around the Sun</h2><h2></h2>

The <u>Ecliptic</u> refers to the orbit of the Earth around the Sun. Therefore, <u>for an observer on Earth it will be the apparent path of the Sun in the sky during the year, with respect to the "immobile background" of the other stars.</u>

<u />

It should be noted that the ecliptic plane (which is the same orbital plane of the Earth in its translation movement) is tilted with respect to the equator of the planet about 23\° approximately. This is due to the inclination of the Earth's axis.

Hence, the correct option is Earth's orbital path around the Sun.

If you push on the wall with a force of 400 N, what is the magnitude of the force at the wall exerts on you?
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

400 N

Explanation:

Due to action-Reaction, the wall pushes back on the person with a force of equal magnitude and in opposite direction to the force exerted by the person.

So the magnitude must be also 400 N.

If a flea can jump straight up to a height of 0.410 m , what is its initial speed as it leaves the ground?
aivan3 [116]

Initial velocity = \(v_0\)

acceleration in the downward direction = -9.8 \(\frac {m}{s^2}\)

Final velocity at the highest point = 0

Maximum height reached = 0.410 m

Now, Using third equation of motion:

\(v^2 = {v_0}^{2} + 2aH

\(0^2 = {v_0}^{2} - 2 \times 9.8 \times 0.410

\({v_0}^{2} = 2 \times 9.8 \times 0.410\)

\(v_0 = 2.834 \frac {m}{s}\)

Speed with which the flea jumps = \(2.834 \frac {m}{s}\)

Drivers a and b travel west from boston. driver a leaves three hours earlier traveling at a constant speed of 68mph. driver b fo
Elza [17]

We can answer this using one of the equations of linear motion:

v = d / t

where:

v = velocity

d = distance

t = time

<span>In the problem, we are asked to find for the time in which Driver B will catch up to Driver A. Therefore,  find the time when dA = dB. Rearranging the equation and equation dA and dB will result in:</span>

<span>vA * tA = vB * tB  ---> 1</span>

It was given that:

vA = 68 mph

tA = tB + 3 (since person A was travelling 3 hours earlier)

vB = 85 mph

tB = unknown

Substituting into equation 1:

68 * (tB + 3) = 85 * tB

68 tB + 204 = 85 tB

tB = 12 hrs

Therefore driver B would catch up to driver A after 12 hrs.
