Do You Know?

→ We cannot see the real image with our naked eye. But we can catch it on screen. Whereas we can see the virtual image in the mirror with our naked eye. But we cannot catch it on screen.

→ In olden days the concave mirrors can also be used as weapons. Archimedes, a Greek scientist used this mirror as weapon, 2000 years ago. When the Romans attacked Syracus, a coastal City – state in Greece, Archimedes arranged concave mirrors. The mirrors could be moved in any direction. They were positioned such that they reflected the sunlight on the Roman soldiers. The soldiers were dazzled by the sunlight. They did not know what was happening. Roman soldiers got confused and returned back.

→ Convex mirrors are used in Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) for security purpose to get a wider background look. This is to avoid others from over looking at your password.
