How do a concave mirror and convex mirror differ?
A concave mirror, or converging mirror, has a reflecting surface that bulges inward (away from the incident light). A convex mirror, fish eye mirror or diverging mirror, is a curved mirror in which the reflective surface bulges toward the light source.
Why is a convex mirror sometimes called a diverging mirror?
Wherever the source of light is, after reflection by the surface of a convex mirror the rays would go always diverged. Hence the name "diverging mirror"
Is a street light mirror concave or convex?
It is a convex mirror. .
A convex mirror will make light rays more what?
"A convex mirror is sometimes referred to as a divergingmirror due to the fact that incident light originating from the same point and will reflect off the mirror surface and diverge."So, a convex mirror will reflect and diverge (scatter) the incident light rays (it produces a virtual image), while a convex lens will do the opposite. It will converge light rays passing through it.
Why convex mirror called diverging mirror?
A convex mirror reflects light in diverging directions due to its shape.

What are convex mirrors and how images look in it?
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. Example:-spoon
Surface that curves outward and reflects and spreads light?
Convex Mirror

A convex mirror will make light rays more divergent or less?
yes convex mirror will divert light more.
What mirror will diverge light rays?
Light rays will be diverged by a convex mirror.
What happens to parallel light rays hitting a convex mirror?
Due to the positive curvature of a convex mirror, when parallel light rays hit the mirror, they are reflected outward (they diverge). As such, convex mirrors are often used for security in convenient stores and other places...because they allow for a wide area to be reflected in the mirror, allowing you to see a wide area when you look at the mirror.
Which type of mirror causes light to spread out?
a convex mirror
Light is refracted and spread out by concave or convex mirrors?
convex mirror
