Question

explain concave and convex mirror???

Answer 1

Convex mirror implies the mirror whose reflecting surface is away from the center of curvature.

Concave mirror refers to the mirror whose reflecting surface is towards the center of curvature.

Answer 2

Convex mirrors reflect light outward resulting in an image that will always appear upright and smaller. ... When the object is within the focal point of the mirror the image in the mirrorappears upright and magnified. Perhaps one of the most important uses of a concave mirror is the reflecting telescope




Convex Mirror. A convex mirror is a spherical reflecting surface (or any reflecting surface fashioned into a portion of a sphere) in which its bulging side faces the source of light. Automobile enthusiasts often call it a fish eye mirror while other physics texts refer to it as a diverging mirror.
