Answer 2

Difference b/w concave and convex mirror :-

#Concave mirror
- If inner side of spherical mirror is reflecting, it is called as concave mirror.

- Concave mirrors form real and inverted images.

- The images formed by the concave mirrors are magnified in nature.

- The object in the image formed by the concave mirror look bigger than the original size of the object.

- The examples of concave mirrors are the mirrors used in automobile head lights, reflecting telescopes, torch lights, etc.




# Convex mirror
- If outer side of the spherical mirror is reflecting, it is called as convex mirror.

- Convex mirrors form virtual and erect images.

- The images formed by the convex mirrors are diminished in nature.

- The object in the image formed by the convex mirror look smaller than the original size of the object.
