write the differences between concave and convex mirror
Answers
Answer:
Concave mirror
Explanation:
It is a spherical mirror in which the
reflection of light takes place from the inner hollow surface is an
concave mirror
Convex mirror :-
It is a spherical mirror in which the
Reflection of light takes place from the outer bulged surface is an convex mirror
Differences between convex and concave mirror:
Convex mirror:
1. The reflecting surface is curved outward.
2. After reflection from the mirror the light rays diverge.
3. The image formed due to convex mirror is always virtual and diminished.
4. It is used as rear view mirror.
Concave mirror:
1. The reflecting surface curved inward.
2. After reflection from the mirror the light rays converge.
3. The image formed due to concave mirror is generally real and either diminished or magnified. But when an object placed between vertex and focus it is virtual.
4. It is used in car headlights.
