Differences in lens and mirror
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 7 years, 5 months ago

  • By the term ‘mirror’ we mean a shiny piece of glass, that is polished from the back, which reflects a clear image of the object, placed in front of it. On the other hand, Lens is a transparent piece of glass, with a spherical surface, that concentrates or disperses the rays of light falling on it.
  • A mirror is either plane or spherical. In contrast, a lens has two surfaces, at least one of which is curved inwards or outwards.
  • As the light ray strikes the mirror, it reflects off the light in a different direction, resulting in the formation of an image. Conversely, in case of lenses, the light ray enters the medium (lens), which refracts (bends) the rays in a different direction, creating a focus, from where the rays seem to originate.
