A concave mirror is shaped like a bowl or a portion of a sphere, with its reflective surface curved inward. This design allows it to focus light that strikes its surface, making it useful in applications such as telescopes, shaving mirrors, and headlights. The center of the curvature is in front of the mirror, and the focal point is located along the axis of symmetry. This shape enables the mirror to create magnified images of objects placed near it.

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 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 kind of mirror is shaped like the inside of a spoon?

A concave mirror is shaped like the inside of a spoon. It curves inward like a bowl and can converge light waves to a focal point, creating a magnified or distorted reflection depending on the distance of the object from the mirror.

How is a concave mirror shaped differently from a plane mirror?

A normal mirror is flat, like this: l . A concave mirror on the other hand, has a slight inward curve, like this: ( . And, if you're interested, a convex mirror has a slight outward curve, like this: ) . This is to provide a wider view.
