They are used mainly for better sight.
Here's an example of each.
Convex is shaped like this ) which gives a wider angle.
They are often used in convenience stores.
Concave are used in side mirrors of vehicles
They both provide different reflections. Much more effective than just a flat mirror for some purposes.
