What are the two types of curved mirror called?

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.


Why do we see ourselves upside down in a spoon?

You'd actually see your upside-down reflection in the bowl of a spoon (the part where the food goes); any reflection you see on the opposite side will always be upright. The inside of a spoon acts as a concave mirror, which have the interesting property of creating an inverted image when the object being reflected is located outside the focal point. If you hold the spoon as close to your face as you can, you'd see your reflection upright.

No, a convex mirror does not produce an upside-down image. Convex mirrors always produce virtual, upright, and diminished images of objects placed in front of them.
