they are called concave mirror

...

mirrors whose center bulges out are called convex, and can reflect a wider view than a flat mirrored surface, but the objects are "larger than they appear", and also "closer than they appear." These are most often seen on right hand mirrors on vehicles, to help minimise blind spots.

mirrors whose center is recessed are called concave (remember the term by thinking of a shallow cave.) Depending upon how close you are to the mirror's focal point, objects appear larger than they really are, or upside down. These are often seen in makeup mirrors so you get a clearer view of your face when shaving or applying makeup.

Combinations of both convex and concave mirrors are seen in funhouses of amusement parks, to make the viewer look skinnier and taller, shorter and fatter, or even upside down.

Name two types of curved mirrors?

Concave mirrors and convex mirrors are two types of curved mirrors. Concave mirrors converge light rays to a focal point and can form real or virtual images. Convex mirrors diverge light rays and produce virtual, upright, and diminished images.


A convex mirror is a mirror that curves outward A concave mirror is a mirror that cruves inward Which statement is best supported by the diagram?

the diagram is not given. In ward and out ward are relative terms. So it would be confusing at all times. Now we have a portion of a sphere made up of glass. Now we have two sides one is curved in and other one is out. If we coat mercury on the curved in side then we get CONVEX mirror. If we coat mercury on curved out side, then we have CONCAVE mirror.


What are the two types of curve mirrors?

The two types of curved mirrors are concave and convex mirrors. Concave mirrors curve inward and can create both real and virtual images, while convex mirrors curve outward and only produce virtual images.


How about biconcave mirror?

A biconcave mirror is a type of mirror with two curved inward surfaces. It diverges parallel light rays that strike it, creating virtual images that are upright and reduced in size. It is commonly used in optical devices such as magnifying glasses and projectors.
