Question

status of difference between convex and concave mirror​

Answer 1

Explanation:

• concave mirror reflecting surface is called inverted
• convex mirror reflecting surface is curved outward
• concave is used in shaving mirror
• convex mirror used as rear view mirror in vehicle

Answer 2

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.
