Can a convex mirror produce real images?
Yes, but it can be hard to arrange. You need to set up a real image as a virtual object, and make the convex mirror image that. If the rays converge strongly enough, they will still converge after reflecting off the convex mirror.
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.
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!
What creates an image that is reflected through a focal point?
a convex lens
What are the images formed by a convex mirror?
convex mirror always form virtual, erect image

What is the principal focus of convex mirror?
It is the point at which all the light rays seem to converge in the case of convex mirror.

What is real focus?
When light rays coming from distant object pass through a convex lens or get reflected from the bright surface of a concave mirror,they converge at a certain point.This point is termed as real focus.
What are the images formed by a convex mirror?
convex mirror always form virtual, erect image
Is a diverging mirror always concave?
a diverging mirror is a convex mirror.
What happens to parallel light rays hitting a convex mirror?
Due to the positive curvature of a convex mirror, when parallel light rays hit the mirror, they are reflected outward (they diverge). As such, convex mirrors are often used for security in convenient stores and other places...because they allow for a wide area to be reflected in the mirror, allowing you to see a wide area when you look at the mirror.
Why are plane mirrors and convex mirror unable to form real images?
They cannot make light rays converge.
Does Other name of convex mirror diverging mirror?
Yes...convex mirror diverges light ray that is parallel to the principle axis. The reflected light ray when traced backwards appears to be diverging from principal focus.
What does convex lens do to light?
A convex mirror will always create a virtual image. It will also have a negative magnification. The passenger side mirror in every car is slightly convex. [The one with "Objects in Mirror are closer than they appear"] Also, anti-theft mirrors in convenience stores have these properties.
