How can you distinguish between a plane mirror,a convex mirror,and a concave mirror by merely looking at the image formed in each case?
(N/A) To distinguish between a plane mirror,a convex mirror,and a concave mirror,the mirror is held near the face and the image is observed.
$1$. If the image is upright,of the same size as the object,and does not change in size when the mirror is moved,the mirror is a plane mirror.
$2$. If the image is upright and magnified,and it becomes inverted when the mirror is moved away from the face,the mirror is a concave mirror.
$3$. If the image is upright and diminished,and it remains upright even when the mirror is moved away from the face,the mirror is a convex mirror.
