Question

difference between concave and convex mirror

Answer 1

Answer:

Spherical mirrors whose inner side is reflecting are called concave mirrors. Spherical mirrors whose outer side is reflecting are called convex mirrors. It's focus and centre of curvature lies behind the mirror.

Answer 2

Differences between concave and convex mirrors are as follows:

• concave mirrors are mirrors whose inner side is reflecting and convex mirrors are those mirrors whose outer side is reflecting.

• concave mirrors are mirrors whose focus and center of curvature lies in front of the mirror whereas in convex mirrors focus and center of curvature lies behind the mirror.

• Concave mirrors are also known as converging mirrors whereas convex mirrors are also known as diverging mirrors.
