Question

differentiate between concave and convex Mirrors extra points min 4 points

Answer 1

the reflecting surface of a concave mirror is bulges inwards while the reflecting surface of convex mirror is bulges outwards

Answer 2

Concave Mirrors are also called as Convergence mirrors, because concave mirrors cause the incoming parallel rays together and it causes these rays to converge. Concave Mirrors form real and inverted images. The concave mirror will produce magnified image and the object will look much bigger than that of the actual size of the object.

Convex Mirrors are also called as Divergent Mirrors, because convex mirrors cause the rays of light parallel to its axis to diverge. The image formed by the convex mirror is virtual, erect, diminished and is formed closer to the mirror than the actual object. The object in the image formed by the convex mirror appears much smaller than the actual object.
