Convex means rounded or curved like the exterior of a circle or sphere. Also called as fish eye or diverging mirror. The mirror coating of the concave mirror is on the outside of the spherical surface. In concave mirrors, the center of curvature and the reflecting surface fall on the same side of the mirror.
The reflecting surface of a concave mirror together with its centre of curvature are located on the same side. On the contrast, the centre of curvature and reflecting surface of a convex mirror are on opposite sides of the mirror.
Curvature; concave is positive and convex is negative curvature.
Concave and convex mirrors are both curved that reflect light, but one reflects inwards and one reflects outwards.
concave is shaped like a cave like a )
And convex is shaped like a cave inside out (
Well ask Mr harrison! duhhh! also maso rocks everyones socks
Christmas bulbs are convex. Make up mirrors are concave. reg. mirrors are plane
Some practical uses for concave and convex mirrors are in medical instruments, car mirrors, and telescopes.
there are three kinds of mirror 1) concave 2) convex 3) plane
concave mirrors are used as dental mirrors. this is because concave mirrors produce highly magnified images which is useful in obtaining larger view of teeth and gums.

The Rear view mirrors are convex The Headlights are concave
Concave mirrors are used in telescopes. Convex mirrors are used as side-view mirrors in cars.

convex mirror
Curved mirrors are mirrors that have a spherical side. example - concave and convex.
concave (bulges inward) convex (bulges outward)
convex mirrors are bent outward,hence can provide the full view of the traffic behind the car and are preferred to concave and plane ones
Yes convex and concave mirrors are also known as spherical mirrors. If mercury coating is made on the convex side of the spherical then mirror is known as concave mirror. If mercury coating is made on the concave side the convex portion would reflect the light fallen so it is named as convex mirror. Actual just a small part of the sphere is taken out and this would act as the spherical mirror.
