Compare concave mirror to convex mirror?
They both will give distorted images, but where a convex mirror (which bulges out like a bubble) has a right-side up image, a concave mirror (which bows in like a bowl) has an upside-down image.
What do you mean by convex mirror and concave mirror?
concave and convex refer to the curve of the mirror. if it is concave, it curves in at the middle, like a 'cave'. if it is convex, it curves out at the middle, like an eye. think of a spoon - one side is convex, the other is concave. this curve will affect the image the mirror shows.
Is a convex lens more like a convex mirror or a concave mirror in the way it produces images?
Closely Convex mirror like to be a mirror than concave mirror.
What are two possibilities for an image formed by a convex lens?
a convex lens is thicker in the center then at the edges. A convex lens acts like a concave mirror, because it focuses rays of light.
Does a convex lens invert images?
Yes. Image formed by convex lens is laterally inverted. However, It should be kept in mind that convex lens can form both real and virtual images. If the object is placed beyond F (Focus), then real image will be formed and laterally inverted. However, if the object is placed between F and C. Then the images formed will be virtual but NOT laterally inverted. For concave lens, all images formed is on the same side so the images formed is NOT laterally inverted
How is an image seen in a plane mirror with the image in a convex mirror different?
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 outwards plane-a flat mirror

Plane mirror convex or concave mirror which is best for bicycle mirror?
I use a mirror with a slight convex curve - like the outside of a spoon, but a lot less bent. But it's hard to find a good one. If you fasten a flat mirror most places on a bicycle, the mirror image will shake around so you can't see it. Also, in a convex mirror, you can see more of the road. But if it's too much bent, too round, then the image is distorted and you can't judge where a vehicle in the mirror really is. The last mirror I bought was described as convex, but actually is flat, so I'm planning to get a piece of car mirror glass cut by a glazier to fit in the frame. That glass is just a little convex.

Why are rear-view and side view mirrors on vehicles convex?
This gives the driver a wider field of vision. Usually only the passenger side mirror is convex. The reflective surface of a convex mirror curves outward like the outer surface of a ball or globe. An object observed by looking at its reflection in a convex mirror appears to be smaller than actual size.
How light rays from an object are reflected by a convex mirror to form an image?
A convex mirror distorts what it reflects to give a wider angle of vision, making the reflection appear smaller than expected. The most common example is the passenger-side rear-view mirror on most cars, which has labeling something like "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear." The web site in the related links has many diagrams for various lenses and mirrors.
What is a shape of a convex mirror?
Imagine if you cut a mirror shaped like a ball in half. The inside half is the concave mirror, and the outside half is a convex mirror.
Does a convex mirror curve inwards or outwards?
The convex mirror curves outwards while the concave mirror would curve inwards. The convex mirror traces light out making faraway objects bigger like in a telescope.
