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

What is a difference between concave mirror and concave lens?
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.
What is the difference between the way parallel light rays are affected by a concave mirror and a concave lens?
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).
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....
What is the difference property between convex and concave glass?
Convex lens converges the light and a concave lens diverges the light..

Which mirror is used in solar cooker Concave or convex mirror or concave lens or convex lens?
convex mirror is not used in solar cooker since it form image inside the polished surface
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.
