Reflection in Flat Mirrors

What is the definition of a flat mirror?

• A flat mirror is a mirror with a rough surface that absorbs most light.

• A flat mirror is a mirror that only reflects light without forming any image.

• A flat mirror is a curved mirror that produces a distorted image.

• A flat mirror is a mirror with a flat reflective surface that produces an upright, virtual image.

How does light behave when it hits a flat mirror?

• Light reflects off a flat mirror with the angle of incidence equal to the angle of reflection.

• Light is absorbed by a flat mirror completely.

• Light bends at a flat mirror, changing direction.

• Light passes through a flat mirror without reflection.

What is the relationship between the object distance and the image distance in a flat mirror?

• The object distance is equal to the image distance in a flat mirror.

• The object distance is half of the image distance.

• The object distance is twice the image distance.

• The object distance has no relation to the image distance.

Describe the characteristics of the image formed by a flat mirror.

• The image is real and inverted.

• The image formed by a flat mirror is virtual, upright, the same size as the object, and located behind the mirror.

• The image is smaller than the object.

• The image is located in front of the mirror.

What is meant by 'virtual image' in the context of flat mirrors?

• A virtual image is an image that can be seen only when looking directly at the mirror.

• A virtual image in flat mirrors is an image that appears to be behind the mirror, formed by the apparent divergence of light rays.

• A virtual image is a real image that can be projected onto a screen.

• A virtual image is formed by the actual convergence of light rays.

How does the size of the image compare to the size of the object in a flat mirror?

• The size of the image is the same as the size of the object.

• The image is larger than the object.

• The image is distorted compared to the object.

• The image is smaller than the object.

What happens to the orientation of the image in a flat mirror?

• The image is upside down.

• The image is enlarged.

• The image is laterally inverted.

• The image is colored differently.

Can a flat mirror produce a real image? Why or why not?

• No, a flat mirror cannot produce a real image.

• Flat mirrors always produce real images regardless of distance.

• A flat mirror can produce a real image under certain conditions.

• Yes, a flat mirror can produce a real image.

What is the significance of the law of reflection in flat mirrors?

• The law of reflection is significant in flat mirrors because it governs how light reflects, enabling the formation of clear images.

• It determines the temperature of the mirror's material.

• It explains how light can pass through mirrors.

• It describes the color of the mirror's surface.

How can you demonstrate the properties of images formed by flat mirrors experimentally?

• Use a curved mirror to observe the image properties.

• Place the mirror underwater for better visibility.

• Use a digital camera to capture the image instead of measuring it.

• Use a flat mirror, a light source, and an object to observe and measure the properties of the image formed.
