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.
What is important in concave and convex mirror?
In concave mirrors, the focal point, focal length, and magnification are important. Concave mirrors can form real or virtual images depending on the object's position relative to the mirror. In convex mirrors, the field of view and image size are important. Convex mirrors always produce virtual images that are smaller and upright compared to the object.
Which optical instrument uses a large concave mirror a plane mirror and a convex lens to gather light focus and enlarge an image?
Astronomical telescopes use a large concave mirror, a plane mirror, and a convex lens in their design. The concave mirror gathers light, the plane mirror reflects it to a more convenient viewing location, and the convex lens magnifies and focuses the image for observation.
How can you distinguish between a plane mirror concave mirror and a convex mirror by merely looking at the mirror?
If our image is real and inverted and smaller than the object ,then it is a concave mirror; if the image is virtual and erect and larger than the object,then it is a convex mirror; if the image is of the same size as of the object,it is a plane mirror. that is how we can distinguish or identify which of the given mirrors are what. BUT if the angle is very small you cannot tell Plane is flat, convex it curves outwards and concave it curves inwards.
What is concave mirror?
A concave mirror is a reflective surface that curves inward, like the interior of a bowl. It can reflect light to converge at a focal point in front of the mirror. Concave mirrors are commonly used in reflecting telescopes and makeup mirrors.
Does a torch use a concave mirror or convex mirror?

Is a searching light mirror concave or convex?
concave
A mirror that curves inwards?
Such a mirror is concave.
Is a shaving mirror concave or convex?
A shaving mirror is concave as it used used to magnify the image.
What are the types of curving mirror?
concave and convex mirror
Can a concave mirror act as a convex mirror?
No, a concave mirror and a convex mirror have different curvatures and focal points. A concave mirror reflects light inward, converging it to a focal point, while a convex mirror reflects light outward, diverging it. They cannot interchange their functions.
Application for concave mirror and convex mirror?
Concave mirrors are used in telescopes. Convex mirrors are used as side-view mirrors in cars.
Which spherical mirror has a virtual focus-concave or convex?
A concave mirror has a virtual focus. This is because the rays of light that are incident on a concave mirror are reflected and appear to diverge from a point behind the mirror, creating a virtual focus.
Is a convex lens more like a convex mirror or a concave mirror in the way it produces images?
A convex lens is more like a concave mirror in the way it produces images. A convex lens converges light rays to form real or virtual images, much like how a concave mirror can do the same by reflecting light. Both convex lenses and concave mirrors can produce both real and virtual images depending on the object's position relative to the lens or mirror.
Is a torch mirror concave or convex?
it is a convex mirror as it produces diverging waves
Can a convex mirror act as concave 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.
