State the difference between convex and concave mirrors.
Answers
Convex:- In these lenses as the parallel lights rays strike the surface it gets reflected in dufferent directions and the image formed is virtual. There is a focus from which the rays looks to appear that they are coming from there.
Concave:- In these lenses as the parallel rays strike they all meet at one point. This is known as the focus. The image formed is real.

Answer:
Mirror refers to any smooth polished or shining surface, that can reflect the light beam and form images. It can be of two types, i.e. plane mirror and a spherical mirror. The mirror whose reflecting surface is flat is a plane mirror whereas a mirror with the curved reflecting surface is termed as a spherical mirror. A spherical mirror is of two types, i.e. convex mirror and a concave mirror. A convex mirror has a reflecting surface that bulges outside.
The main difference between a convex and concave mirror lies in the image formed by the two mirrors, i.e. while convex mirror forms diminished image, the concave mirror either forms an enlarged image or a diminished one, depending upon the position of the object.
Convex mirror>
Convex mirror implies the mirror whose reflecting surface is away from the center of curvature.
Concave mirror>
Concave mirror refers to the mirror whose reflecting surface is towards the center of curvature.
