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.

What do you mean by convex mirror and concave mirror?
concave and convex refer to the curve of the mirror. if it is concave, it curves in at the middle, like a 'cave'. if it is convex, it curves out at the middle, like an eye. think of a spoon - one side is convex, the other is concave. this curve will affect the image the mirror shows.
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.
What are the two types of curve mirrors?
concave (bulges inward) convex (bulges outward)
What are the kinds of curve mirror?
They are: concave (curved away from the observer) convex (curved toward the observer)
How is a concave mirror shaped differently from a plane mirror?
A normal mirror is flat, like this: l . A concave mirror on the other hand, has a slight inward curve, like this: ( . And, if you're interested, a convex mirror has a slight outward curve, like this: ) . This is to provide a wider view.
What is the difference between a concave and a convex polygon?
A concave polygon has lines that curve inwards whereas a convex polygon has lines that curve outwards and they are found on and inside spheres
What do convex lens look like?
Convex lens curve outwards.
Describe convex lens what do they do and how do they curve?
Convex lenses makes an object appear larger and closer. They curve inwards toward the center.
What kind of microscope lens curve outwards and look like a sphere?
convex

Different kinds of mirrors?
the different kinds of mirrors were the plane mirrors, curve mirrors or concave and convex mirror.
Is the reflecting surface of a sculpture a plane surface like that of a plane mirror?
No. It is not a plane surface like that of a plane mirror because a plane mirror is straight and it does not have any curve in it. the sculpture's surface is like that of a Convex Mirror
What are mirrors that curve inwards?
Concave
