Answer:

Concave mirror is called a converging mirror because parallel rays of light fall on the mirror they converge at a point called focus. Convex mirror is called a diverging mirror because parallel rays of light fall on it they diverge after reflection.

Hope it helps you!!

Answer:

Concave mirror is called a converging mirror because parallel rays of light fall on the mirror they converge at a point called focus. Convex mirror is called adiverging mirror because parallel rays of light fall on it they diverge after reflection.

It is because the light rays when get reflected from the mirror appear to be diverging from a point behind the mirror therefore, a convex mirror is called the diverging mirror.
