Question

Concave mirror is said to have a real focus where convex mirror is aid to have virtual focus. Explain

Answer 1

Explanation:

In concave mirror, the reflected rays actually intersect at a point whereas in convex mirrors the reflected rays don't actually intersect, it appears to intersect. Therefore concave mirror is said to have real focus and convex mirror is said to have virtual focus.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Answer:

Concave mirror has a real focus because the rays of light actually meet after reflection at the surface of the mirror. But, in a case of a convex mirror, the rays of light do not actually meat but virtually appear to meet, so the focus is called a virtual focus
