Convex mirrors are often used for side mirrors (if the mirror has a note saying "objects in mirror are closer than they appear," it's convex; it may be convex even without such a note).

Light is refracted and spread out by concave or convex mirrors?
convex mirror
Why concave and convex mirrors are called spherical mirrors?
A spherical mirror is part of a sphere. If the sphere is cut into two, the inside of a piece will be concave mirror, while the outside will be convex mirror.
Is a dental mirror concave or convex?
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.
Is convex and concave mirrors also known as spherical mirrors?
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.
What are the kind of mirrors?
there are three kinds of mirror 1) concave 2) convex 3) plane
Application for concave mirror and convex mirror?
Concave mirrors are used in telescopes. Convex mirrors are used as side-view mirrors in cars.

What are the two types of curve mirrors?
concave (bulges inward) convex (bulges outward)
Different kinds of mirrors?
the different kinds of mirrors were the plane mirrors, curve mirrors or concave and convex mirror.
What is important in concave and convex mirror?
Concave and convex mirrors allow greater area of view or detailed examination of smaller areas.
How are concave and convex mirrors are different from one another?
A convex mirror is thicker at the center than at the edge, whereas a concave mirror is thinner in the center than at the edge.
Do binoculars have convex lenses?
Yes they do. They also include concave mirrors and a plane mirror.
