What are the differences between concave and convex mirror?
Answers
Answer:
Concave mirror
Convex mirror
A spherical mirror whose reflecting surface is curved inwards is called a concave mirror.
A spherical mirror whose reflecting surface is curved outwards is called a convex mirror.
A parallel beam of light falling on this mirror converges at a point after reflection.
A parallel beam of light falling on this mirror appears to diverge from a point after reflection.
It is also called a converging mirror.
It is also called a diverging mirror.
It has a real focus.
It has a virtual focus.
The magnification of a concave mirror can be greater, equal or less than 1.
The magnification of a convex mirror is always less than 1.
These mirrors are used as reflectors in projectors, light-house headlights, searchlights, etc.
These mirrors are used as rear-view mirrors in cars and motorcycles, as they enable the driver/rider to view the road and vehicles behind.

Answer:
convex vs concave mirrorMirror 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.
On the contrary, in a concave mirror, the reflecting surface bulges inwards.
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.
