Answer:

If the inner side of the spherical mirror is reflecting, it is called a concave mirror. If the outer side of the spherical mirror is reflecting, it is called a convex mirror. Image. Concave mirrors can form inverted and real images and also virtual and erect images.

Answer:

Hey Mate! Here is your answer:

Explanation:

1) Concave mirror: If a hollow sphere is cut into parts and the outer surface of the cut part is painted, then it becomes a mirror with its inner surface as the reflecting surface. This type of mirror is known as a concave mirror.

2) Convex mirror: If the cut part of the hollow sphere is painted from inside, then its outer surface becomes the reflecting surface. This kind of mirror is known as a convex mirror.

3) Characteristics of Concave Mirrors:

  • Light converges at a point when it strikes and reflects back from the reflecting surface of the concave mirror. Hence, it is also known as a converging mirror.
  • When the concave mirror is placed very close to the object, a magnified and virtual image is obtained.
  • However, if we increase the distance between the object and the mirror then the size of the image reduces and a real image is formed.
  • The image formed by the concave mirror can be small or large or can be real or virtual.

4) Characteristics of Convex Mirrors:

  • A convex mirror is also known as a diverging mirror as this mirror diverges light when they strike on its reflecting surface.
  • Virtual, erect, and diminished images are always formed with convex mirrors, irrespective of the distance between the object and the mirror.
