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.

How to make concave mirror at home?

To make a concave mirror at home, you will need a glass or plastic curved surface. You can then add a reflective coating, such as silver or aluminum, to the inner concave surface of the curved object to turn it into a concave mirror. However, making a high-quality concave mirror at home may be challenging due to the precision and materials required.


What type of mirror does a spoon has?

A spoon has a concave mirror shape due to its curved inner surface. This type of mirror can produce both real and virtual images depending on the object's position relative to the focal point.


What is the difference between concave lens and the concave mirror?

A concave lens is thinner in the middle and thicker at the edges, causing light rays to diverge. A concave mirror, on the other hand, is curved inward like the inside of a bowl, causing light rays to converge at a focal point. Both have different optical properties and applications.


What are concave?

A concaved shape is one that is curved like the inner surface of a sphere. (Think about something that is cave-like.) The opposite, a convex surface, is one that is shaped like the outer surface of a sphere. So the mirror in a telescope has a concaved surface, as does the inside of a bowl and the surface of a crater or valley.


Is a concave or covect the type of mirror that resembles the inner sufrace of a spoon?

A concave surface is hollow and bends inwards.... think of it as conCAVE.... caves are hollow.A convex surface is like a bump and bends outwards... a convEX bump is on the EXterior of an object


The type of mirror that resembles the inner surface of a spoon is called?

A mirror that bows inward is called concave. The opposite, a mirror that bows outward would be called convex. Convex mirrors are used to to increase the field of view around corners and blind spots. Concave mirror serve no purpose other than novelty (making you appear thin or odd)


What type of image is formed in a spoon?

A magnified, virtual, and upright image is formed in a spoon due to reflection. The curved shape of the spoon acts as a concave mirror, causing light rays to converge and reflect off its inner surface, creating an image that appears larger than the actual object.


Differentiate between concave and convex mirror?

The outer curved part is coated with mercury as the inner would reflect light in case of concave mirror. Whereas the inner is coated as to make the outer to act as reflector in case of convex mirror. Concave mirror can give both real and virtual images for a real object depending on the location of object. But convex on the other hand can give only virtual image with a real object irrespective of the position of the object. Next, concave mirror can be used as shaving mirror. Also used to converge the parallel beam of light. Convex mirror is best used as rear view mirror in case of vehicles.


How is light reflected off of a concave mirror?

The way light is reflected is different in a concave mirror depending on the position and distance from the object. when light hits the concave mirror when it is near the object, the rays are scattered and it forms a virtual image, i.e it does not come on the screen. the image will be erect and higly magnified. When it is taken further from the object, the image becomes inverted and real, i.e it can be seen on a screen, and will still be magnified.


What is nature of concave lens?

Lens that possesses at least one surface that curves inwards. It is a diverging lens, spreading out those light rays that have been refracted through it. A concave lens is thinner at its centre than at its edges, and is used to correct short-sightedness. Hope this helps you :)


What is the difference between concave mirror and convex mirror?

Eyesight = ------< = the lines are pointing to how it sees. You see things more clearly for far away things> = the lines are pointing to how it sees. You see things more clearly for close objects.Concave: ---------)(> objectConvex: ---------)< objectI hope you understand the answer. I didnt explain it too well.or you could try......concave is like a "cave"..it bends inwardsand convex is just the opposite it bends outwards....//nfjn//....concave mirror is the one which forms the inner part of the spherical mirror or its reflecting surface bulges inwards & convex is the one which bulges outwards. concave always forms real & inverted image while convex forms virtual & erect image


What does a biconcave shape look like?

Curved in the inner surface on both sides. For example : a red blood cell, crescent moon.
