Plane Mirror - are standard, flat mirrors, produce images of the same size and distance as the objects they reflect
Concave Mirror - Used to focus light, they reflect it inward toward one focal point. Concave mirrors show different types of images, depending on the distance between the mirror and the object reflected. Concave mirrors are used quite frequently in day-to-day life

Can a concave mirror act as a convex mirror?
If this mirror is reflective on both sides, then it can be both concave and convex. Otherwise, the two cannot act like one another.
What are the properties of a concave mirror?
This would be a mirror with when you look at it, the center of the mirror is deeper than the sides surrounding the center. convex would be the opposite with the center closer to you than the sides.
Examples of concave and convex mirrors?
Convex means rounded or curved like the exterior of a circle or sphere. Also called as fish eye or diverging mirror. The mirror coating of the concave mirror is on the outside of the spherical surface. In concave mirrors, the center of curvature and the reflecting surface fall on the same side of the mirror.
A convex mirror is a mirror that curves outward A concave mirror is a mirror that cruves inward Which statement is best supported by the diagram?
the diagram is not given. In ward and out ward are relative terms. So it would be confusing at all times. Now we have a portion of a sphere made up of glass. Now we have two sides one is curved in and other one is out. If we coat mercury on the curved in side then we get CONVEX mirror. If we coat mercury on curved out side, then we have CONCAVE mirror.
What is a simple way to locate the image in a plane mirror?
A simple way to locate to image in a plane mirror without using light rays is to measure the distance of the object itself to the mirror and then draw a dotted line that is equal to the distance of the object-mirror on the other side. Then connect the sides to the end of the line. i had to do this in science today :)

Is a heptagon convex or concave?
I think it is niether * * * * * A heptagon is simply a plane shape bounded by seven straight sides. Any polygon with three of more sides can be concave or convex.

How many sides does a concave nonagon have?
A nonagon has nine sides: whether it is concave or convex is irrelevant.

What is a polygon difference shape Concave and Convex?
Okay, you know those big mirror like things that they have in hospitals on stores to see whats coming around the corner? Well those mirror things are convex. The mirror ones that 'cave in' are concave. And they are different from a polygon because they really don't have sides like squares or rectangles:) Hope this helped.
Can a polygon be concave?
Yes. All polygons with 4 or more sides can be concave. An arrowhead is an example of a concave quadrilateral. The back of an envelop (where the sides are folded and glued together) is a concave pentagon.
What is a nonconvex polygon?
A nonconvex polygon is a concave polygon. All polygons with 4 or more sides can be concave. An arrowhead is an example of a concave quadrilateral. The back of an envelop (where the sides are folded and glued together) is a concave pentagon.
What is a polygon that bends in?
It is a concave polygon. There are polygons of 4 or more sides that are concave.
Is a trapezoid concave?
No. A trapezoid has two parallel sides. This is not possible in a concave quadrilateral.
