    Mirrors reflect light rays at the same angle they hit the surface, creating mirror images, while lenses refract light rays to concentrate or disperse them, enabling magnification. Common examples of mirrors include bathroom mirrors and vehicle side mirrors, while camera lenses exemplify refractive lenses. Mirrors are classified as plane or curved, with curved mirrors further divided into convex and concave, determining whether reflected images appear smaller or larger than the original object.

    1.

    mirror- an object that reflects an image


    lens- A lens is a piece of transparent glass which concentrates or disperses light
    rays when passes through them by refraction. Due to the magnifying property, lenses
    are used in telescopes and other magnifying devices.

    2. example of mirror - the mirror in our bathrooms, makeup mirror, side mirror of
    vehicles, concave and convex mirror (curved mirror)
    example of lens- camera lens,

    3. difference between mirror and lens- mirror - reflective, lens - refractive

    4. different types of mirrors- plane, curved mirror (concave and convex)

    5. how are the images reflected by plane mirrors- when light waves hit a plane
    mirror, they bounce off of the mirror at the same angle that they hit the mirror.
    This means that the reflected image will be a mirror image of the original object.

    6. how are images reflected by curved mirrors (convex and concave)-


    convex- the image is smaller
    concave- the image appears larger
    examples- metal spoon, makeup mirror
