Question

what are different between concave and convex mirror​

Answer 1

${\huge{\underline{\black{\bf{Answer:}}}$

When an object is near a plane mirror, the image is erect, virtual and of the same size at the object. A concave mirror gives a magnified and erect image of a nearby object whereas a convex mirror gives an erect and diminished image. For the rear view mirror in a car.

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.
