Reflections and

Refractions:
Exploring the Uses
of Plane, Concave,
and Convex
Mirrors
 Plane Mirrors

Plane mirrors are flat mirrors that produce

virtual images that are the same size as the
object being reflected. They are commonly used
in periscopes, rearview mirrors, and dressing
room mirrors. Learn more about the physics
behind plane mirrors in this slide.
 Introduction
Reflections and Refractions are
fascinating phenomena that occur
when light interacts with surfaces. This
presentation explores the uses of
plane, concave, and convex mirrors in
various fields. Join us on this journey of
discovery!
 Concave Mirrors
Concave mirrors are curved mirrors
that produce real or virtual images
depending on the position of the
object being reflected. They are used in
telescopes, headlights, and makeup
mirrors. Discover the unique properties
of concave mirrors in this slide.
 Mirrors in Astronomy

Mirrors play a crucial role in astronomy, where

they are used in telescopes to gather and focus
light from distant objects. Learn about the
different types of mirrors used in astronomy and
their unique properties in this slide.
 Convex Mirrors

Convex mirrors are curved mirrors that produce

virtual images that are smaller than the object
being reflected. They are used in security
mirrors, side mirrors, and fisheye lenses.
Explore the applications of convex mirrors in this
slide.
Mirrors in Art
Mirrors have been used in art for
centuries to create optical illusions
and perspective. They are also used in
photography and video art. Explore
the creative uses of mirrors in art in
this slide.
Mirrors in Architecture
Mirrors are increasingly being used
in architecture to create illusions
of space and light. They are also
used to reflect natural
surroundings and maximize
natural light. Learn about the
innovative uses of mirrors in
architecture in this slide.
Mirrors in Medicine
Mirrors are used extensively in
medicine, from dental mirrors to
endoscopes. They allow doctors to
see inside the body without invasive
procedures. Discover the different
types of mirrors used in medicine and
their applications in this slide.
 Mirror Safety

Mirrors can pose safety hazards if they are not

installed or used properly. This slide provides
important safety tips for using mirrors in
different applications, from driving to dressing
rooms.
 Conclusion
Reflections and refractions are fundamental to our
understanding of light and its interactions with surfaces.
Mirrors are just one of the many ways we can observe and
manipulate these phenomena. We hope this presentation has
given you a new appreciation for the uses of plane, concave,
and convex mirrors in our daily lives.
