A concave mirror is a converging mirror used in microscopes and telescopes. Characteristics include forming real and inverted and diminished images when an object is placed beyond the center of curvature or real, inverted and enlarged image when the object is placed between the center of curvature and focus.

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.


How You place a flower 18 feet from a concave mirror. The mirror generates a virtual image of the flower that appears to be behind the mirror. What can you infer about the focal point of the mirror?

Since the image is virtual and appears behind the mirror, the focal point of the concave mirror is also located behind the mirror. This indicates that the focal point is a positive value, based on the mirror's characteristics.

What are the four characteristics used to describe an image seen in a concave mirror?

The four characteristics used to describe an image seen in a concave mirror are: 1) Size, which can be larger or smaller than the object; 2) Orientation, which can be upright or inverted depending on the object's distance from the mirror; 3) Type, which can be real (formed in front of the mirror) or virtual (formed behind the mirror); and 4) Location, which refers to the position of the image relative to the mirror (closer or farther from the mirror).

What Is concave mirror complete the given ray diagram and also write its one charactertis of the formed image?

A concave mirror is a curved mirror that curves inward. In a ray diagram for a concave mirror, parallel rays of light that hit the mirror will converge at a point known as the focal point. One characteristic of the image formed by a concave mirror is that it can be real or virtual depending on the object's distance from the mirror.
