Question

difference between concave and convex mirror.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Concave Mirrors:

Concave mirrors are the mirrors whose reflecting surface in curved inwards.

Convex Mirrors:

Convex mirrors are the mirrors whose reflecting surface is curved outwards.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Concave Mirror:-

• Concave means rounded or hollowed like the interior of a circle or sphere.

• Also called as a converging 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.

• In concave mirrors, the centre of curvature and the reflecting surface fall on the same side of the mirror.

• Focus lies in front of the mirror i.e. focal length, is positive.

• Image cannot be projected on a screen as they are virtual.

Convex 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 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.

• The focus lies behind the mirror i.e. focal length is negative.

• The image formed by a convex mirror is virtual, erect and diminished.

• An image can be projected on a screen as they are real.

• They are used in reflecting telescopes, shaving mirrors, torchlights, etc. as they give a magnified image of the objects.
