Is search light mirror concave or convex?
concave
Light is refracted and spread out by concave or convex mirrors?
convex mirror
Does a flashlight use a concave mirror or convex mirror?
It uses a concave mirror in order for the light to be concentrated to point forward.
How do a concave mirror and convex mirror differ?
A concave mirror, or converging mirror, has a reflecting surface that bulges inward (away from the incident light). A convex mirror, fish eye mirror or diverging mirror, is a curved mirror in which the reflective surface bulges toward the light source.
Explain the difference between the concave mirror and convex mirror?
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.

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.
Do Light Rays converge or diverge?
Light rays converge as well as diverge. it depends upon the type of lens or mirror you pass it through. A concave lens or a convex mirror diverges the light whereas a convex lens or a concave mirror converges the light rays!
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.
Why concave mirror is used in search lights?
The concave shape focuses the light into a narrow beam. If the mirror was convex, the light would be spread out - useless for searching into any distance.
Does a convex mirror curve inwards or outwards?
The convex mirror curves outwards while the concave mirror would curve inwards. The convex mirror traces light out making faraway objects bigger like in a telescope.
