Does a convex mirror curve inwards or outwards?
The convex mirror curves outwards while the concave mirror would curve inwards. The convex mirror traces light out making faraway objects bigger like in a telescope.
How would the eye perceive an image created by a concave mirror and by a convex mirror?
A concave mirror will focus an image and make it appear smaller. A convex mirror will disperse an image and make it appear larger.
Describe the images formed in a concave mirror and in a convex mirror?
Here is a description of image formation in a concave mirror: if the object is beyond the center of curvature (F), the image formed is real and upside down; if the object is very near to the concave mirror, the image forms behind the mirror. It is virtual, upright, and bigger in size. Here is a description of image formation in a convex mirror: a convex mirror always produces a virtual, upright, and smaller image of the object at any distance in front of it. The image is located behind the mirror.
Why do you use convex mirror as rear view mirror?
As it shows a larger part of area in a smaller and nearer way.
How does the reflection from a convex mirror appear to make object seem smaller?

Can convex mirrors be uses as a shaving mirror?
No, this is because the image formed in convex mirror is smaller and the shape of the image is irregular. So if we use convex mirrors as a shaving mirror, there are chances of getting hurt whle shaving.

What creates a smaller image that is right side up and smaller than what object?
A convex mirror.
If light hits a mirror at an angle it reflects back at?
If light hits a mirror at an angle it reflects back at you but it will make the image look bigger or smaller (if the mirror is concave or convex). If it is a flat plane mirror the image is the same but if your holding something it will be on the opposite side

What is important in concave and convex mirror?
Concave and convex mirrors allow greater area of view or detailed examination of smaller areas.

What are convex mirrors and how images look in it?
A convex surface means bulging out surface. A convex mirror is that spherical mirror in whichthe reflection of light takes place at the bulging out surface.A spherical mirror which is polished from hollow side, such that its reflecting surface is towards outer sideis called convex mirror.
