Spherical mirrors whose inner side is reflecting are called concave mirrors.
Spherical mirrors whose outer side is reflecting are called convex mirrors.
It's focus and centre of curvature lies in front of the motor
It's focus and centre of curvature lies behind the mirror.
It is also called a converging mirror.
It is also called a diverging lens.
The image formed by a concave mirror can be both virtual and erect, depending upon the position of an object.
Image formed by a convex mirror is always virtual.
