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.
As is well-known, these types of mirrors
magnify objects placed close to them. The most commonly
occurring examples of convex mirrors are the passenger-side wing
mirrors of cars. These type of mirrors have wider fields of view than
equivalent flat mirrors, but objects which appear in them
generally look
smaller (and, therefore, farther away) than they actually are.
