It's reflecting surface is away from the centre of sphere of which mirror is part. This mirror is thicker from centre and thin from outside.

Is a convex lens more like a convex mirror or a concave mirror in the way it produces images?

A convex lens is more like a concave mirror in the way it produces images. A convex lens converges light rays to form real or virtual images, much like how a concave mirror can do the same by reflecting light. Both convex lenses and concave mirrors can produce both real and virtual images depending on the object's position relative to the lens or mirror.

convex mirror


Can a convex mirror act as concave mirror?

If this mirror is reflective on both sides, then it can be both concave and convex. Otherwise, the two cannot act like one another.


When viewed in a spherical mirror the image of a setting is a virtual image. The image lies 12cm behind the mirror .Is this mirror concave or convex?

The mirror in this case is a convex mirror, as virtual images are formed by convex mirrors.


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.


Can a concave mirror act as a convex mirror?

No, a concave mirror and a convex mirror have different curvatures and focal points. A concave mirror reflects light inward, converging it to a focal point, while a convex mirror reflects light outward, diverging it. They cannot interchange their functions.


Is a torch mirror concave or convex?

it is a convex mirror as it produces diverging waves


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.


What does a convex mirror look like?

How do you find the virtual focus in a convex mirror?

since the convex mirror is curved outwards the the focus is behind the mirror


What does the image of an object look like in a convex mirror?

The image formed by a convex mirror is virtual, upright, and smaller than the actual object. It appears to be located behind the mirror and has a wider field of view compared to a plane mirror.


What is a shape of a convex mirror?

A convex mirror is curved outward like the back of a spoon, causing light rays reflected off it to diverge. The mirror bulges outward in the center and curves inward towards the edges, resulting in a wider field of view and a smaller, virtual image.
