there are three main types of mirror- 1-flat=normal mirror 2-convex=outward 'bulge' type commonly used in shops for security-gives wide field of view.also on some motor vehicles, usually door mirrors. 3-concave=as the name suggests in facing 'bulge' (as in cave-makes it easy to remember this way)used to concentrate the light to a focal point-used in some telescopes. concave,convex or combinations of both are used in 'fun house' exhibits to radically distort images of the viewer.

What is reflection with examples?
Reflection is the bouncing back of light waves. Some examples are a mirror, and water. :)
Does a concave mirror create a virtual image?
An virtual image is an image that is formed not by the intersection of two light beams, but it appears that these light beams intersect at some point. The optics of convex mirror doesn't allow the light beams to intersect at any position of object in relation to the mirror. Thus one can never get any real image using convex mirror
What does 'concave up' mean in physics terms?
There are some meaning on the term " concave up". However, in most cases, a concave is a hallow curve. A half circle with an opening is also a concave. Concave up means to concave somethings.
Can you Give some examples for magnetic energy?
A compass.
Why are concave mirrors used in headlights of cars?
Car headlamps use parabolic mirrors to concentrate and focus the light in one direction. Without these mirrors, one would either waste the undirected light or the light would shine in all directions, which would blind the driver.
What are some examples of concave mirrors?
Mirrors in flashlights and headlights, mirrors for shaving or make up. A mirror to make objects look bigger.
Why some images on mirror appear to be erect?
Some images on a mirror usually appear erect because of the concave mirror.
Why concave mirror is used for shaving?
Some people use concave mirror because when a man stands between the principal focus and pole of a concave mirror,he sees an enlarged,erect and virtual image of his face.this is the reason why a concave mirror of large focal length is used for shaving. concave mirrors concentrate on one focus and while shaving it concentrate on a point and the image is enlarge which prevents the face from cutting. because when a man stands between the pricipal focus and pole of a concave mirror , he sees enlarged ,erect and virtual image of his face .that is why concave mirror of large focal length is used for shaving
How does a concave mirror affect light?
A concave mirror will tend to "focus" light to some degree, depending on the curvature of the mirror. A parabolic mirror will bring reflected light to a sharp focus, and telescopes use this type of curve for the shape of their reflective surface. And for exactly the reasons you think they do.

Which shapes are concave?
Some examples of concave shapes include a crescent moon, a cave entrance, and the letter "C". Concave shapes have at least one inward curve or indentation and are often described as having a hollow or sunken appearance.
What are some examples of reflecting light?
A mirror

List two uses for concave lens?
Both concave and convex lenses are used in glasses; A microscope, like a reflecting telescope, uses a concave mirror, a plane mirror, and a convex lens; A refracting telescope uses two convex lenses to magnify images in the sky; binoculars use concave lenses to improve detail.
