How does a concave mirror affect light?
A concave mirror will tend to "focus" light to some degree, depending on the curvature of the mirror. A parabolic mirror will bring reflected light to a sharp focus, and telescopes use this type of curve for the shape of their reflective surface. And for exactly the reasons you think they do.

Why is concave mirror used in street lights?
bcause when light source placed at focus of the mirror, after flashing the light form the source to the mirror after reflection a straight parallel beam of light emerges which makes the street bright
Why inner curved surface is known as Concave mirror?
Inner curved surface is known as concave mirror because inner side of the spherical mirror is polished to reflect the light is called concave mirror,and concave mirror is know because concave mirror converges parallel beam of light.
Why concave mirror is used in search lights?
The concave shape focuses the light into a narrow beam. If the mirror was convex, the light would be spread out - useless for searching into any distance.
Does a Concave mirror bend light outwards or inwards?

How do a concave mirror and convex mirror differ?
A concave mirror, or converging mirror, has a reflecting surface that bulges inward (away from the incident light). A convex mirror, fish eye mirror or diverging mirror, is a curved mirror in which the reflective surface bulges toward the light source.
How does a concave mirror work?
A concave mirror is a spherical mirror which is curved inward, where the inside surface is reflective. They work by reflecting the light captured into the centre of the mirror, creating a focal point in the centre of the mirror.

When the surface of a mirror curves like the inside of a bowl it is called a?
concave mirror
Is a searching light mirror concave or convex?
concave
Is search light mirror concave or convex?
concave
Why are concave mirrors used in flood lights?
In flood lights,the source of light is placed between the pole and focus of a concave mirror so as to obtain a diverging beam of light..
Why a side mirror is never a concave mirror?
A concave mirror would focus the light back towards the focal point of the mirror. You would not be able to use the mirror effectively with a concave.
What is the difference between concave lens and the concave mirror?
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 difference between ordinary mirror and 100 percent reflective mirror?
I think a regular mirror is a mirror that does not reflect all the light from a source, and actually soaks some light in. 100% mirrors reflect 100% of the light (theoretically not possible)
