A convex surface means bulging out surface. A convex mirror is that spherical mirror in whichthe reflection of light takes place at the bulging out surface.A spherical mirror which is polished from hollow side, such that its reflecting surface is towards outer sideis called convex mirror.

Can convex mirrors produce real images?

No, convex mirrors cannot produce real images. They only produce virtual images.


Which types of images are produced by convex mirrors?

dont no dont care . Virtual diminished images. Look at one and see, most outside mirrors on cars are convex.


What mirrors show virtual or real images?

Mirrors that show virtual images are concave mirrors, while mirrors that show real images are convex mirrors. Concave mirrors can create magnified or reduced virtual images depending on the object's position relative to the mirror, while convex mirrors always create smaller, upright, and virtual images.


What are the two types of curve mirrors?

The two types of curved mirrors are concave and convex mirrors. Concave mirrors curve inward and can create both real and virtual images, while convex mirrors curve outward and only produce virtual images.


Can convex mirrors produce real images?

yes


Five difference between a concave mirrors and convex mirrors?

Concave Vs Convex 1. Mercury coating will be made on the convex side but here on concave side. So reflecting portion would become concave and here convex 2. Both real and virtual images but only virtual images 3. Both diminished, enlarged and even same size images formed but only diminished. 4. Both inverted (real) and erect (virtual) images but only erect images. 5. Used as shaving mirror and in telescopes but used as rear view mirror


Name two types of curved mirrors?

Concave mirrors and convex mirrors are two types of curved mirrors. Concave mirrors converge light rays to a focal point and can form real or virtual images. Convex mirrors diverge light rays and produce virtual, upright, and diminished images.


What generalization can you make regarding the nature of the images formed by convex mirror?

the image will be Unreal. Concave mirrors form a real and inverted image where in tn convex mirrors the images are unreal.


When convex mirrors are used for security purposes the images they form are real images?

false


What are three similarities between concave and convex mirrors?

Both concave and convex mirrors can create virtual images, which are images that cannot be projected onto a screen. Both types of mirrors follow the laws of reflection, with the angle of incidence being equal to the angle of reflection. Both concave and convex mirrors can be used in optical devices such as makeup mirrors or security mirrors.


How are images in concave mirrors like images in convex mirrors?

Images in both concave and convex mirrors are virtual and may be upright or inverted depending on the object's position relative to the focal point. Additionally, the size of the image may be magnified, reduced, or equal to the object size.
