compare convex and concave mirror
Answers
Concave mirror
Convex Mirror
Made by silvering the outer surface of a part of the hollow glass sphere.
Made by silvering the inner surface of a part of the hollow glass sphere.
Converging in nature.
Diverging in nature.
Image may be real or virtual depending on the position of the object.
Image is virtual.
Image may be diminished, same size or magnified.
Image is diminished.
The examples of concave mirrors are the mirrors used in automobile head lights, reflecting telescopes, torch lights, etc.
The examples of convex mirrors are the mirrors used as rear side mirrors of vehicles, optical instruments, calling bell, etc.

Convex
mirror is a spherical reflecting surface (or any reflecting surface fashioned into a portion of a sphere) in which its bulging side faces the source of light. Automobile enthusiasts often call it a fish eye mirror while other physics texts refer to it as a diverging mirror.
Concave
mirrors are also known as a converging mirror since the rays converge after falling on the concave mirror, while the convex mirrors are known as concave mirror.
