Answers
1.A concave mirror is a spherical mirror in which the reflecting surface and the center of curvature fall on the same side of the mirror. In other words, if the mirror coating lies outside of the spherical surface, then it is known as a concave mirror.
2.It is also called Converging Mirror.
3.Concave means “hollowed or rounded”.
1.A convex mirror is a spherical mirror in which the reflecting surface and the center of curvature lie on the opposite sides of the mirror. In other words, if the mirror coating lies in the inside of the spherical surface, then it is known as a convex mirror.
2.It is also called Diverging Mirror, Fish eye mirror.
3.Convex means “curved or rounded like the outside of a sphere or circle”.
