What is the difference between a concave mirror and a convex mirror?

- Concave mirrors curve inward, creating a focal point in front of the mirror. Convex mirrors curve outward creating a focal point behind the mirror.
- Because of their shape and focal point placement, images in concave mirrors appear upside down and far away. However, when you move closer, the object enlarges. If you get close enough, the object enlarges more and the image is right-side up.
- In a convex mirror, images appear right-side up, shrunken and virtual, or placed somewhere behind the mirror.

What is the difference between the focus of concave and convex mirror?
the focal point of a concave mirror is positive while a convex is negative
What the difference between the virtual image created by a concave and plane and a convex mirror?
THough all are erect, in concave it will be enlarged in plane mirror of the same size as the object but in convex mirror it will be dimished
Explain the difference between the concave mirror and convex mirror?
A convex mirror bulges out. A concave mirror curves inward.For a convex mirror, light rays are reflected to meet at a point, while, for a concave mirror, light rays seem to be reflected from a point. If the incident rays were paraxial, the reflected rays are reflected to meet at, or appear to be reflected to a point referred to as the focal point of the lens. For a convex mirror, the focal point is real, while, that of a concave lens is virtual.
What is the difference between the virtual image formed by a convex lens and a concave lens?
The difference is that when virtual image is formed by the concave mirror...it is larger than its original size..but when it is formed by the convex mirror..it is smaller than the original size....
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.
