Why is the reflection of an object inverted in concave mirrors?

Concave mirrors are bent in a way that makes you look upside-down. Convex mirrors, on the other hand, are bent in the opposite direction to make you look bigger. If you have a clean and dry spoon, you can look at your face on either side of the spoon, and you'll see your face either upside-down or enlargened. The bending of concave mirrors cause light to bounce in opposite directions when light hit the mirror, so every particle of you and your surroundings would be the opposite of what it really is.

Which type of image formed by concave mirror?
A concave mirror forms a virtual, magnified, right side up image.
Why do images in a concave mirror appear inverted?
If an object's distance from the concave mirror is greater than the mirror's focal length, then the mirror image of it will be inverted. If the distance from the concave mirror is less than the focal length of the mirror, the image will not be inverted. No image will be produced if the distance from the mirror to the object is equal to the mirror's focal length.
When the reflection of an object is seen in a concave mirror the image will?
always be real.
Does concave mirrors make object appear bigger?

What type of mirror can be used to obtain the real image of an object?
concave mirrors
What is the main purpose of object lenses concave mirrors in the telescope?
Magnify images
What is an example of concave mirrors?

Why concave mirror is used for make up pr shave?

What are the characteristics of a concave mirror?
A concave mirror is a converging mirror used in microscopes and telescopes.

Why concave mirrors are used for shaving and dental treatment?
because it can magnify the object and form the image.
What is the nature of the image produced by a concave mirror if the object lies beyond twice of focal length?
real and inverted
