Following are three main differences between spherical and plane mirrors:
1. A plane mirror has only one kind of reflecting surface which is the plane surface. A spherical mirror has two types of reflecting surface: concave surface and convex surface.
2. The radius of curvature of a plane mirror is at infinity. The radius of curvature of spherical mirror has a finite length.
3. The image produced by a plane mirror is always virtual. The image produced by a concave reflecting surface can be real as well as virtual.

PLANE MIRROR It shows lateral inversion. Its image is always erect. It formed virtual images. SPHERICAL MIRROR It does not shows lateral inversion. It formed either inverted or erect. It formed real and virtual images. Hope it helps Mark me as brainliest Thanks..
