The outer curved part is coated with Mercury as the inner would reflect light in case of concave mirror.
Whereas the inner is coated as to make the outer to act as reflector in case of convex mirror.
Concave mirror can give both real and virtual images for a real object depending on the location of object.
But convex on the other hand can give only virtual image with a real object irrespective of the position of the object.
Next, concave mirror can be used as shaving mirror. Also used to converge the parallel beam of light.
Convex mirror is best used as rear view mirror in case of vehicles.
One way to distinguish between a plane concave and convex mirror without touching them is to observe their reflected images. A concave mirror will produce an upright and magnified image of an object placed in front of it, while a convex mirror will produce an upright and diminished image. Another way is to look at the reflection of a distant object – a concave mirror will form a real image, while a convex mirror will create a virtual image.

No, a concave mirror and a convex mirror have different curvatures and focal points. A concave mirror reflects light inward, converging it to a focal point, while a convex mirror reflects light outward, diverging it. They cannot interchange their functions.
A convex lens is more like a concave mirror in the way it produces images. A convex lens converges light rays to form real or virtual images, much like how a concave mirror can do the same by reflecting light. Both convex lenses and concave mirrors can produce both real and virtual images depending on the object's position relative to the lens or mirror.
A concave mirror curves inward and can focus light rays to a single point, called the focal point. It can produce real or virtual images depending on the object's distance from the mirror. On the other hand, a convex mirror curves outward and always produces virtual, upright, and diminished images.

it is a convex mirror as it produces diverging waves

a diverging mirror is a convex mirror.
Concave mirrors are used in telescopes. Convex mirrors are used as side-view mirrors in cars.
