A converging mirror is also referred to as a concave mirror. Its reflecting surface curves inwards and usually forms a virtual image. Whereas, a diverging mirror's reflecting surface is curved outwards and can form both real and virtual images.
Concave mirrors converge incoming light rays to a point and
convex mirrors just diverge to the surrounding space.

Concave mirrors are used in telescopes. Convex mirrors are used as side-view mirrors in cars.
Some practical uses for concave and convex mirrors are in medical instruments, car mirrors, and telescopes.

there are three kinds of mirror 1) concave 2) convex 3) plane

concave mirrors are used as dental mirrors. this is because concave mirrors produce highly magnified images which is useful in obtaining larger view of teeth and gums.
Curved mirrors are mirrors that have a spherical side. example - concave and convex.
concave (bulges inward) convex (bulges outward)
convex mirrors are bent outward,hence can provide the full view of the traffic behind the car and are preferred to concave and plane ones
