A convex mirror bulges out. A concave mirror curves inward.
For a convex mirror, light rays are reflected to meet at a point, while, for a concave mirror, light rays seem to be reflected from a point. If the incident rays were paraxial, the reflected rays are reflected to meet at, or appear to be reflected to a point referred to as the focal point of the lens. For a convex mirror, the focal point is real, while, that of a concave lens is virtual.

Difference between concave and convex in the dark?
concave is inward, convex is outward concave is inward, convex is outward
What is the difference property between convex and concave glass?
Convex lens converges the light and a concave lens diverges the light..
What is the difference between the focus of concave and convex mirror?
the focal point of a concave mirror is positive while a convex is negative
How can you remember the difference between convex and concave lenses?
A concave surface curves inward. Cave-in
Difference between convex and concave lens?
The difference between concave and convex is that convex lenses are the type of lens that make images bigger, while concave make images smaller. Still confused, maybe this will help. When you think of concave think of a cave, how you can see a small image at the end of the cave, while convex is the opposite.

What is the difference between a concave polygon and a convex polygon?
Any polygon that has an angle that is > 180º is a concave polygon. A convex polygon does not. e.g. All regular polygons are convex.
Difference of non convex and convex?
A non convex is a concave and a convex is differently shaped
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

Explain the shape of a concave lens and a convex lens?
A convex lens is thicker in the center than at the edges. A convex lens is like a concave mirror.A concave lens is thinner in the center than at the edges.
What the difference between the virtual image created by a concave and plane and a convex mirror?
THough all are erect, in concave it will be enlarged in plane mirror of the same size as the object but in convex mirror it will be dimished
