) relative to the normal (a perpendicular line to the surface).
: Curved outward, providing a wider field of view (e.g., side-view mirrors on cars or security mirrors in shops). 2. Chemical Composition: How Mirrors are Made

: In a flat (plane) mirror , the image is "virtual," upright, and the same size as the object, but it appears to be located behind the mirror at the same distance. Mirror Types :
