What is the difference between concave mirror and convex mirror?

Answer 1

Eyesight = ------

< = the lines are pointing to how it sees. You see things more clearly for far away things

> = the lines are pointing to how it sees. You see things more clearly for close objects.

Concave: ---------)(> object

Convex: ---------)< object

I hope you understand the answer. I didnt explain it too well.

or you could try......

concave is like a "cave"..it bends inwards

and convex is just the opposite it bends outwards

....//nfjn//....

concave mirror is the one which forms the inner part of the spherical mirror or its reflecting surface bulges inwards & convex is the one which bulges outwards. concave always forms real & inverted image while convex forms virtual & erect image

Answer 2

A convex mirror which also called fish eye mirror is a diverging mirror. Convex mirror reflects light outwards they form virtual image as the focus and center of curvature are both imaginary points inside the mirror, therefore image formed by these mirrors cannot be taken on screen.

A concave mirror is a converging mirror. It reflects light inward to focal point. Concave mirror show different types of images depend upon the distance between the object and the mirror.These mirrors are called "converging" because they tend to collect light that falls on them, refocusing parallel incoming rays toward a focus. This is because the light is reflected at different angles, since the normal to the surface differs with each spot on the mirror.

Answer 3

the concave lens is which we can seefar and convex isin which we can see near
