The basic periscope uses flat mirrors, to bend and offset the optical path.
If magnification is required, then the periscope will use convex objective and
eyepiece lenses, becoming a refracting telescope with an offset in its optical path.

Does a driving mirror use a concave mirror or convex mirror?
It's convex.
Does a flashlight use a concave mirror or convex mirror?
It uses a concave mirror in order for the light to be concentrated to point forward.
What is another name for a convex lens?
Concave and convex can refer the types of lenses used to treat refractive errors in the eyes. Concave is another word for myopic lens and convex is another name for a hyperopic lens also known as nearsighted and farsighted respectively
Why is convex mirror preferred over concave or plane mirror to use as a rear view mirrors in vehicles?
Convex gives you the widest "field of view" (so someone does not have to be right behind you in order for you to see them).
Which mirror is suitable for the use of shaving and why?
Any type of mirror, whether plano, convex, or concave, is useful for shaving if it breaks clean with a uniform, straight, sharp edge.
Does a torch use a concave mirror or convex mirror?
Concave

What is the use of reflection?
a. concave mirror b. a convex lens c. a plane mirror or d. all the above.
What is the use of reflecting telescope?
a. concave mirror b. a convex lens c. a plane mirror or d. all the above.
Why do we use concave mirror as converging mirror?

List two uses for concave lens?
Both concave and convex lenses are used in glasses; A microscope, like a reflecting telescope, uses a concave mirror, a plane mirror, and a convex lens; A refracting telescope uses two convex lenses to magnify images in the sky; binoculars use concave lenses to improve detail.

Do microscopes use concave or convex lenses?
They use convex lenses because they need to focus the light IN to the eye. Convex focuses in while concave spreads the light out. So, they use convex lenses.

Any type of mirror, whether plano, convex, or concave, is useful for shaving if it breaks clean with a uniform, straight, sharp edge.
What is the different between concave and convex mirror light?
Concave mirror would have the surface curved out get coated with mercury hence curved in surface would reflect the rays fallen on. But convex mirror would have the surface curved in get coated with mercury hence curved out surface would reflect the rays fallen on. Concave mirror would have both converging and diverging ability. When light coming from an object placed at a distance higher than its focal length right from the pole of the mirror, converging takes place. But the object lies in between pole and the focus diverging action. But in convex mirror irrespective of the placement of the object only diverging phenomenon. Concave mirror used as shaving mirror and dentists too use them Convex mirror is used as rear view mirror in case of vehicles near by the driver.
