Can I reflect the sunlight on earth by a convex mirror that placed on geostationary satellite?

You could do that, but the intensity may not be of any real value. You would be getting a lower input of light than what is coming directly from the sun right behind you.

Which spherical mirror has a virtual focus-concave or convex?
convex
Do binoculars have convex lenses?
Yes they do. They also include concave mirrors and a plane mirror.
Is a convex mirror thin in the middle and thick at the edged?
No, that's concave Convex is thin at the edges and thick in the middle.
How many ray diagrams are formed by convex mirror?
6
What can you use to separate visible light?
a prism or convex lens
Convex mirrors reflect how?
pie
What is better for focusing sunlight?
A convex lens is better for focusing sunlight
Do light rays reflect or refract when they hit a convex mirror?
A convex mirror has the same type of curve as the bottom of a spoon - it bulges out. Mirrors reflect.
Why convex mirror are used in security stores?
so you can see far away and reflect them to other convex mirrors
How do convex mirrors form virtual images?
They, wait for it <<<<< reflect
What does each concave and convex lens cause light rays to do?
reflect
Why convex mirror is preferred as driver's mirror?
convex mirrors are preferred as drivers mirror because they reflect more area than plain or concave mirror.
A convex mirror will make light rays more what?
"A convex mirror is sometimes referred to as a divergingmirror due to the fact that incident light originating from the same point and will reflect off the mirror surface and diverge."So, a convex mirror will reflect and diverge (scatter) the incident light rays (it produces a virtual image), while a convex lens will do the opposite. It will converge light rays passing through it.
Do convex mirror reflect light?
If it's really a "mirror", then it reflects light, regardless of its shape.
What are the disadvantages of convex mirror?
Convex mirrors reflect images in a distorted shape due to their convex shape. It can be difficult to determine the actual placement of objects.Since versions of convex mirrors are found in many vehicles, driver's misjudgment of speed and miscalculation of distances can be a direct result of the curvature of the mirror within the car.
Do convex lenses magnify sunlight?
No magnification, but only concentrating all the rays ie energy at a point.
How does light reflect off a convex and concave?
A parallel light source will reflect off a concave mirror and go through a point inside the curve called the focus. Reflecting from a convex mirror will cause all light to bounce off in a straight line away from a focus point behind the mirror.
