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.
Do convex mirror reflect light?
If it's really a "mirror", then it reflects light, regardless of its shape.
A convex mirror will make light rays more what?
"A convex mirror is sometimes referred to as a divergingmirror due to the fact that incident light originating from the same point and will reflect off the mirror surface and diverge."So, a convex mirror will reflect and diverge (scatter) the incident light rays (it produces a virtual image), while a convex lens will do the opposite. It will converge light rays passing through it.
Is a street light mirror concave or convex?
It is a convex mirror. .
What are the uses of convex and concave mirrors?
A convex mirror is used for:- A spotlight..... the light in right in the middle and the convex mirror is behind it so the light that shines back ward's hits the mirror and reflect's back and bends into a focal point. A concave mirror is used for:- Dentist mirror.... to magnify a potion's teeth. They are also used in car light's but is very hard to explain. The first answer above relates to a concave mirror.

How does light reflect off a convex and concave?
A parallel light source will reflect off a concave mirror and go through a point inside the curve called the focus. Reflecting from a convex mirror will cause all light to bounce off in a straight line away from a focus point behind the mirror.

Why convex mirror is preferred as driver's mirror?
convex mirrors are preferred as drivers mirror because they reflect more area than plain or concave mirror.
How can light reflect off a mirror?
By 'Atomic Scattering', which is the absorption and re-emission of light energy by the particles of a medium which will not absorb the energy. It depends if the mirror is concave or convex. The light reflects differently depending on the type of mirror.
Why is a concave mirror used in microscopes instead of convex lenses?
To focus AND reflect light through the specimen slide to the lenses.
Why convex mirror called diverging mirror?
A convex mirror reflects light in diverging directions due to its shape.
A convex mirror will make light rays more divergent or less?
yes convex mirror will divert light more.
What mirror will diverge light rays?
Light rays will be diverged by a convex mirror.
