Question

How can you identify the concave and convex mirror?

Answer 1

If you look into a plane mirror, you can find that the size of the image is same as that of the object. If you look into a concave mirror, you can see an enlarged image when placed close and can see an inverted image when kept away. A convex mirror always forms a small and erect image.

Answer 2

In concave mirror outer side is polished but in convex mirror inner part is polished.
