Question

Differentiate between concave mirrors​ and convex mirrors.​

Answer 1

Answer:

There are many differences between concave and convex mirrors and some of them are as follows.

• CONCAVE MIRROR

If inner side of spherical mirror is reflecting, it is called as concave mirror.

• IMAGE

Concave mirrors form real and inverted images.

• NATURE

The images formed by the concave mirrors are magnified in nature.

• SIZE

The object in the image formed by the concave mirror look bigger than the original size of the object.

• POSITION

Concave mirrors form real and inverted images except when the object is between pole and focus.

• EXAMPLES

The examples of concave mirrors are the mirrors used in automobile head lights, reflecting telescopes, torch lights, etc.

• USAGE

Concave mirror is used in the solar furnace, the sun rays are focused at a point by the concave mirror.The concentrated beam of sunlight at a point increases the temperature at that point.

There are many differences between concave and convex mirrors and some of them are as follows.

• CONVEX MIRROR

If outer side of the spherical mirror is reflecting, it is called as convex mirror.

• IMAGE

Convex mirrors form virtual and erect images.

• NATURE

The images formed by the convex mirrors are diminished in nature.

• SIZE

The object in the image formed by the convex mirror look smaller than the original size of the object.

• POSITION

Convex mirrors form virtual and erect images irrespective of the position of the object.

• EXAMPLES

The examples of convex mirrors are the mirrors used as rear side mirrors of vehicles, optical instruments, calling bell, etc.

• USAGE

Convex mirror is used as the rear mirror of the vehicles because, the convex mirror enables a driver to view large area of traffic behind him by forming a small image of the vehicles.

Answer 2

$\huge\mathfrak\purple{concave mirror}$

✔✔A concave mirror, or converging mirror, has a reflecting surface that is recessed inward (away from the incident light).

✔ Concave mirrors reflect light inward to one focal point.

✔✔They are used to focus light.

$\huge\mathfrak\green{convex mirror}$

✔✔A convex mirror or diverging mirror is a curved mirror in which the reflective surface bulges toward the light source.

✔✔Convex mirrors reflect light outwards,

✔✔therefore they are not used to focus light.
