Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Difference between concave mirror and convex mirror -

Simplest test is to observe the reflecting surface. If reflecting surface is towards centre of circle, it is concave mirror and if it's away from the centre of circle, it is convex mirror.

Concave mirror converges light rays and convex mirror diverges light rays.

When we see an object in concave mirror, its image appears magnified. When we see an object in convex mirror, its image appears diminished.

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you..
