Mirrors and lenses
A mirror is a reflective surface. Light passes through the glass and hits the silver
backing, reflecting off of it. (The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.)
A lens, on the other hand, does not reflect light; it refracts it. After entering the
glass, light refracts differently depending on the shape of the lens and also
creates a focal point where the refracting light comes to a point. This differs for
different lenses -- convex or concave -- which is why there are different lenses for
different types of eyeglasses.
Not much except concave mirror reflects and concentrate the light and lens let trough and distorts the light "concave -the inner surface of a sphere." defines the shape of the lens or mirror
A concave mirror is usually used to project something onto a screen. A concave lens is usually used to view an image through the naked eye.
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....
The difference between the two is that once the light passes through the concave lens it diverges, and the rays are refracted outward, and never meet a focal point. Then there is the parallel light rays that bounce off the curved surface of a concave mirror and then meet a single point ( focal point).
i do not think so because a mirror an a lens is two same things except that mirrors can reflect the water and the lens may refract or bend the water so that can change the focal length between the mirror and the lens

Light passes through a lens, typically being bent by refraction. Light reflects off a mirror.

"Lense" is a misspelling of "lens," which is the correct spelling referring to a curved piece of glass or other transparent material that focuses or disperses light rays.
There is none

a lens you can see through and a mirror reflects
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.
