What are curved mirrors?
Curved mirrors are mirrors that have a spherical side. example - concave and convex.
Are the laws of reflection for plane mirrors valid for spherical mirrors?

What are the uses of spherical mirrors?
that mirror is mystery
When were deformed mirrors invented?
Parabolic mirrors were described and studied in classical antiquity by the mathematician Diocles in his work On Burning Mirrors. Ptolemy conducted a number of experiments with curved polished iron mirrors, and discussed plane, convex spherical, and concave spherical mirrors in his Optics.
Why concave and convex mirrors are called spherical mirrors?
A spherical mirror is part of a sphere. If the sphere is cut into two, the inside of a piece will be concave mirror, while the outside will be convex mirror.
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.
Which mirror show virtual image of object placed in front of it?
Plane Mirror And Other Spherical Mirrors Bulged Outside, Such As Convex Mirrors
What do concave and convex mirrors have in common?
Both the mirrors produce an virtual image when the object is placed in between the pole and focus . And also obviously both are a part of the category of spherical mirrors.
is plane mirror is a spherical mirror why?
plane mirror is never a spherical mirror,spherical mirrors are made up by cutting the part of the sherical balls and then polishing them.while the plane mirror is just a sheet of polished glass

When is image distance negative in spherical mirrors?
well at 156 kgls the mirrors begin to angle auxtributly. this forms a slight arc and allows image distance to become negative.
What are the similarities and differences between concave and convex mirrors?
Definitions found on www.dictionary.com Concave: a curved like a segment of the interior of a circle or hollow sphere; hollow and curved Convex:having a surface that is curved or rounded outwardsBoth concave and convex mirrors are spherical mirrorsconcave mirrora spherical mirror whose reflecting surface is curved inwards is called a concave mirrorconvex mirrora spherical mirror whose reflecting surface is curved outwards is called a convex mirror
