1) convex mirror is spherical mirror whose reflecting surface is curved outward. 2) convex mirror also known as diverging Mirror. 3) used in rear view mirror in vehicles.

1) concave mirror is spherical mirror whose reflecting surface is curved inward .2) concave mirror also known as converging mirror. 3) used in solar furnace, shaving mirror etc

please follow me

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Concave mirror

1. Reflecting surface is bulged inwards / curved inwards.

2. Also called as converging mirror

3. Focal length is - ve.

4. For the first 5 positions of object, the image formed will be real and for the 6th position of object, the image formed will be virtual.

5. Example : reflecting telescopes, torch lights, etc.

Convex mirror

1. Reflecting surface is bulged outwards / curved outwards.

2. Also called as diverging mirror.

3. Focal length is + ve.

4. Image formed will be virtual

5. Example : optical instruments, calling bell, etc.
