Answer:
- Concave means rounded or hollowed like the interior of a circle or sphere
- Also called as a converging mirror.
- Convex means rounded or curved like the exterior of a circle or sphere.
- Also called as a fish eye or diverging mirror.
- The mirror coating of the concave mirror is on the outside of the spherical surface.
- In concave mirrors, the centre of curvature and the reflecting surface fall on the same side of the mirror.
- The mirror coating of the convex mirror is on the inside of the spherical surface.
- In convex mirrors, the centre of curvature and the reflecting surface fall on the opposite side of the mirror.
- Focus lies in front of the mirror i.e. focal length, is positive.
- The focus lies behind the mirror i.e. focal length is negative.
- The image formed by a concave mirror is real, inverted and enlarged (except when the object is between P and F where the image is virtual, erect and enlarged).
- The image formed by a convex mirror is virtual, erect and diminished.
- An image can be projected on a screen as they are real.
- Image cannot be projected on a screen as they are virtual.
- They are used in reflecting telescopes, shaving mirrors, torchlights, etc. as they give a magnified image of the objects.
- Convex mirrors are used as side view or rearview mirrors in vehicles as they cover a wider area of view.
