State the differences between convex and concave mirrors?
Answers
Explanation:
convex mirror is known as diverging mirror and concave mirror is known as converging mirror. convex mirror is use for focus on object and concave mirror is use in wide angle view
Differences between convex and concave mirror:
Convex mirror:
1. The reflecting surface is curved outward.
2. After reflection from the mirror the light rays diverge.
3. The image formed due to convex mirror is always virtual and diminished.
4. It is used as rear view mirror.
Concave mirror:
1. The reflecting surface curved inward.
2. After reflection from the mirror the light rays converge.
3. The image formed due to concave mirror is generally real and either diminished or magnified. But when an object placed between vertex and focus it is virtual.
4. It is used in car headlights.
