Answer 1

⚫ANSWER⚫

Concave mirror

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

➡A spherical mirror whose reflecting surface is curved from inwards .

➡It is also called converging mirror.

➡It has real focus .

➡Parallel beam of light converges at a point after reflection.

➡These mirrors are used as reflectors, headlights, searchlights etc.

Convex mirror

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

➡A spherical mirror whose reflecting surface is curved from outwards.

➡It is also called diverging mirror.

➡It has virtual focus.

➡Parallel beam of light diverges at a point after reflection.

➡These mirrors are used as rear - view mirrors in cars and other vehicles to see the vehicles behind.
