Best Answer

It depends on the mirror geometry. There are three geometries for mirrors:

  • Concave Mirror: Glass is curved inward, creating enlarged or bigger sized reflections. Useful as a grooming aide.
  • Convex Mirror: The glass curves outward, creating reduced or smaller sized reflections. It can be either decorative or a useful tool in parking garages or busy corridors to help people see around the corner.
  • Flat mirror: The glass is flat, creating same or equal sized reflections.

Does concave mirror make things bigger or smaller and can you see less or more?

Because of it's shape a concave lens bends or refracts light outward away from the center of the lens and towards its thicker edges. The light rays never cross or meet a focal point so the image never inverts. A concave lens makes objects appear smaller than they really are.
