Question

Diffrentuate between concave mirror and convex mrror​

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. focal length of the concave mirror is negative.
2. focal length if convex mirror is positive.
3. concave mirror can form real as well as virtual image.
4. convex mirror can form only virtual image.
5. concave mirror can form image smaller than or greater than or as SAME size of object.
6. convex mirror can form only image smaller than object.
7. concave mirror is a mirror with its concave surface reflecting.
8. convex mirror is a mirror with its convex surface reflecting.

hope it is Helpful.

Answer 2

• Concave means rounded or hollowed like the interior of a circle or sphere
• Also called as converging mirror.
• Focus lies in front of the mirror i.e. focal length is positive.
• The mirror coating of the concave mirror is on the outside of the spherical surface.
• In concave mirrors, the center of curvature and the reflecting surface fall on the same side of the mirror
• The image formed by a concave mirror is real, inverted and enlarged (except when the object is between P and F where the image is virtual, erect and enlarged).
• They are used in reflecting telescopes, shaving mirrors, torchlights, etc. as they give a magnified image of the objects. real.

• Convex means rounded or curved like the exterior of a circle or sphere.
• Also called as fish eye or diverging mirror.
• The mirror coating of the convex mirror is on the inside of the spherical surface.
• In convex mirrors, the center of curvature and the reflecting surface fall on the opposite side of the mirror.
• In convex mirrors, the center of curvature and the reflecting surface fall on the opposite side of the mirror.
• Focus lies behind the mirror i.e. focal length is negative.
• The image formed by a convex mirror is virtual, erect and diminished.
• Image cannot be projected on a screen as they are virtual.
• Convex mirrors are used as sideview or rearview mirrors in vehicles as they cover a wider area of view.
