If the mirror is convex (bulges out, like a ball), objects in the mirror will appear smaller or further away, but the mirror will show a larger scene (called a wider field of view), including objects that a flat mirror would miss around the edges.
If the mirror is concave (like the inside of a dish), it can magnify images or focus light onto a small spot. A large concave mirror can focus sunlight and produce a very hot spot.

The type of mirror that resembles the inner surface of a spoon is called?
A mirror that bows inward is called concave. The opposite, a mirror that bows outward would be called convex. Convex mirrors are used to to increase the field of view around corners and blind spots. Concave mirror serve no purpose other than novelty (making you appear thin or odd)
What is the number of pole of mirror?
A mirror has an infinite number of poles due to its smooth and continuous reflective surface. The pole of a mirror is the point where the normal to the mirror surface intersects it, and this point can be anywhere on the mirror surface.
What is the name of a mirror that is flat?
A flat mirror is generally referred to simply as a flat mirror. It is a mirror with a flat reflective surface that does not have any curvature.
What do you call flat mirrors?
A flat mirror is also called a plane mirror
What happens to light in a flat mirror?
Light bounces off a flat mirror in a process called reflection. The angle at which the light approaches the mirror is equal to the angle at which it reflects off the mirror, following the law of reflection.
What type of mirror has a flat surface?
A Mirror that is flat is a duplex mirror.
What is the name for a perfectly flat mirror?
The name of a flat mirror is "plane mirror"
What is a normal mirror called?
A normal mirror is typically referred to as a flat mirror, which reflects light rays without distorting the image or changing the size of objects.
How does a light ray change when it strikes a flat mirror?
When a light ray strikes a flat mirror, it reflects off the mirror at the same angle it hit the mirror but in the opposite direction. This process is called specular reflection. The incident angle equals the reflected angle, and the image formed is virtual and upright.
What is flat mirror and what is it used for?
a flat mirror is just a normal mirror, for getting ready in the morning, or seeing the trafic behind you.
Can a plane mirror be called a spherical mirror?
No. The two terms are mutually exclusive; something cannot be both flat and curved at the same time.
What is the object image distance relationship for a flat mirror?
when dealing with a flat mirror object-distance and image-distance should be equal.
