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 are some objects that use concave?
Peepholes such as in hotel rooms
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
Different kinds of mirrors?
Some types of mirrors include plane mirrors, concave mirrors, and convex mirrors. Plane mirrors have flat surfaces, concave mirrors curve inward like the inside of a bowl, and convex mirrors curve outward like the outside of a bowl. Each type of mirror has unique properties that affect how they reflect light.
Having concave and convex edges terminating in points?
The described shape is a polygon with alternating concave and convex edges that meet at points. Some examples of polygons that match this description include stars, arrowheads, or certain irregular quadrilaterals.
Which light rays striking a concave mirror are reflected so that they pass through the focal point?
The tendency in case of concave lens would be diverging one. When parallel rays fall one side of the concave lens then due to divergence they appear to come, note down that "they appear to come" from a point on the same side. And this point is named as the virtual focus of the concave lens. Now as a ray passes through this virtual focal point that will be definitely a diverging one. Now due to diverging action of the lens, that ray will be further diverged and that will appear to come from a virtual point on the same side and some what nearer to the concave lens. Hence the image will be virtual and diminished and erect one.
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.
