Convex means rounded or curved like the exterior of a circle or sphere. Also called as fish eye or diverging mirror. The mirror coating of the concave mirror is on the outside of the spherical surface. In concave mirrors, the center of curvature and the reflecting surface fall on the same side of the mirror.

∙ 9y agoThe reflecting surface of a concave mirror together with its centre of curvature are located on the same side. On the contrast, the centre of curvature and reflecting surface of a convex mirror are on opposite sides of the mirror.

What are the practical uses for concave and convex mirrors?
Some practical uses for concave and convex mirrors are in medical instruments, car mirrors, and telescopes.
What are the kind of mirrors?
there are three kinds of mirror 1) concave 2) convex 3) plane
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.
Light is refracted and spread out by concave or convex mirrors?
convex mirror

What are curved mirrors?
Curved mirrors are mirrors that have a spherical side. example - concave and convex.
What are the two types of curve mirrors?
concave (bulges inward) convex (bulges outward)
Why are convex mirrors used as side mirrors in cars instead of plane or concave mirrors?
convex mirrors are bent outward,hence can provide the full view of the traffic behind the car and are preferred to concave and plane ones
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.
