can anyone tell about the difference between concave mirror and convex mirror
Answers
A concave mirror is a spherical mirror with the surface of reflection is curved in an inward direction while a convex mirror is a spherical mirror with a reflecting surface with an outward bulge.
Hint: Think of a spoon. Front of a spoon is concave, and back of a spoon is convex
The correct option is a. The surface of the convex mirror bulges outward and the surface of concave mirror recess inwards.
Complete step-by-step solution -
Both the convex and concave mirror is a part of an imaginary sphere. The fundamental difference between them is that the reflective surface of a concave mirror is inside the sphere and that of a convex mirror is outside.
Convex mirror:
The outer surface of the spherical mirror is reflecting.
It forms virtual and erect images.\
The image formed is always smaller than the actual size.
Its focus point lies at behind its reflecting surface
Concave mirror:
The inner surface of the spherical mirror is reflecting.
It forms a real-inverted image and also virtual-erect pictures.
The image formed can be larger or smaller than the actual size.
Its focus point lies at the front of its reflecting surface
