Question

write the difference between the image formation on convergent mirror and divergeent mirror
​

Answer 1

Answer:

converging mirror is called concave mirror.and it always forms magnified image .the image formed is real and inverted .but in sixth case it form virtual and erect image.

diverging mirror is also known as convex mirror and it forms diminished image.it forms virtual and erect image

Answer 2

The differences between the image formation on the convergent and divergent mirrors are as follows:

• The convergent mirror or concave mirror

1. The converging mirror converges light rays at the focus point situated in front of the mirror.
2. Converging mirrors form real, inverted or erect and magnified images based on the position and distance of an object.

• The divergent mirror or convex mirror

1. Diverging mirror diverges the ray of light at the focus situated behind the mirror.
2. It forms a virtual, diminished and erect images because the focus of the mirror is an imaginary point in this.
