Question

How does a
reflecting surface
of a spherical
mirror can be
specified ?​

Answer 1

Spherical reflecting surfaces are sometimes used as mirrors. Figure 20.6 shows (a) a concave spherical mirror and (b) a convex spherical mirror. These classifications are determined by the appearance from the point of view of an incident ray, so that a concave surface looks “caved in.”

Answer 2

Answer:

A spherical mirror is a mirror which has the shape of a piece cut out of a spherical surface. There are two types of spherical mirrors: concave, and convex. The most commonly occurring examples of concave mirrors are shaving mirrors and makeup mirrors.

Explanation:

Spherical reflecting surfaces are sometimes used as mirrors. These classifications are determined by the appearance from the point of view of an   light.The reflecting surface of a spherical mirror forms a part of a sphere. This point is called the center of curvature of the spherical mirror. Center of curvature can also be defined as the point in the center of the sphere rays parallel to the optical axis are incident on a concave mirror
