Technically, any distortion in the shape or texture of a reflective medium (mirror, metal, water, etc.) will cause the resulting image to be somewhat inaccurate to its normal portrayal (as in, the human eye). Convex and concave are both going to distort your image. But I would think that if you were doing your make up and only had a spoon as your mirror, the concave side would allow you to be a bit more accurate in your application. It really depends of your distance from the spoon and the size of the spoon. If you get up really close (to either side), it will make your reflection more realistic than if you were farther away.
concave food side, convex bottomside
concave and convex refer to the curve of the mirror. if it is concave, it curves in at the middle, like a 'cave'. if it is convex, it curves out at the middle, like an eye. think of a spoon - one side is convex, the other is concave. this curve will affect the image the mirror shows.
your reflection is upside down on the front part of a spoon for one main reason. The interior part of a spoon in 'concave' meaning it curves inward. when light is reflected of a concave surface, it overlaps and is projected off the spoon upside down. ...
A spoon acts as a rough-and-ready convex or concave mirror, depending on which side of ityou admire yourself in, so it follows the rules of curved mirrors. Also, a spoon's geometry is not that of a spherical or parabolic cap so will give a distorted image anyway.
Erect, diminished and will be on the same side of the object.
Yes
The best example would be to take a metal spoon that is shiny. Look at the spoon so the curved part is facing away from you. The dip you can see is called Concave. The other side that protrudes is called Convex. When you look at the concave side your face will appear squashed, wider at the top and bottom but very narrow in the middle. When you look at the convex side, your face will appear wide and fatter, almost like a football. This is because of the light rays reflective at a different angle.

because one side is concave and the other is convex

Concave mirrors are bent in a way that makes you look upside-down. Convex mirrors, on the other hand, are bent in the opposite direction to make you look bigger. If you have a clean and dry spoon, you can look at your face on either side of the spoon, and you'll see your face either upside-down or enlargened. The bending of concave mirrors cause light to bounce in opposite directions when light hit the mirror, so every particle of you and your surroundings would be the opposite of what it really is.

its because the lens of the microscope is convex. this means that it is curved a little bit, like the lenses of glasses. this causes the image to appear upside down. try looking into the curved part of a spoon from both sides. one side your reflection is normal, but on the other side your reflection is upside down, because of concave and convex. The side where you see your reflection normal is concave, and the side where it is backwards is convex. hope i helped!
Convex lenses, which magnify, correct hyperopia. Below, is a previous wiki answer to this question in detail.Convex are thicker in the middle and thin out at the edges. These lenses magnify and are used for reading glasses and to correct long-sightedness (hyperopia).Concave lenses are thin in the middle and thick towards the edges. These lenses shrink things and are used to correct short-sightedness (myopia).A good example of this is to take a spoon and look at your reflection in it. Looking at the concave side of the spoon (the front) will make you look smaller, looking at the convex side of the spoon (the back) will make you look biggeRead more: Which_type_of_lens_magnifies_-_convex_or_concave
He held his spoon upside down so that its concave side for holding his soup was rendered useless.
