Concave mirror: It is a spherical mirror with an outwards curved reflecting surface. It is also known as a diverging mirror.
- Nature of image - real and inverted.
Uses of the concave mirror -
- Concave mirrors are used in vehicles and headlights.
- Concave mirrors are used in the base of a microscope.
Convex mirror - Convex mirror is a mirror that is thicker at the center and thinner at its corner. It is also known as a converging mirror.
- Nature of image - virtual and erect.
Uses of the convex mirror -
- It is used in projectors.
- It is also used in the lens of cameras for a clear image.
- It is also used in spectacles and sunglasses.
White light - White light is made up of seven shades which can be remembered by the acronym VIBGYOR.
- The VIBGYOR is also named a spectrum.
- Isaac Newton was the first person who used a glass prism to obtain the spectrum of light.

EXTRA INFORMATION :-
Spherical Mirror :
- A spherical mirror is a reflecting surface which is a part of a hollow sphere.
There are two types of spherical mirror :
- Concave spherical mirror
- Convex spherical mirror
Pole :
- The centre point P of curvature of the spherical mirror is called it's pole.
Principal Axis :
- The principal axis of a spherical mirror is a straight line obtained by connecting the centre of curvature and the pole of the spherical mirror.
Centre of Curvature :
- The centre of curvature of a spherical mirror is the centre of the hollow sphere of which the mirror is a part.
Radius of Curvature :
- The radius of the hollow sphere of which this spherical mirror is a part is called radius of curvature.
