yes concave is like a cave


What is vertex of concave mirror?

No such term vertex being used in concave mirror. We would say by the term 'pole' of the mirror. Or optic center of the mirror. Of course vertex is used in case of parabola. Following this we may use vertex synonym to the pole or optic centre of the concave mirror

It uses a concave mirror in order for the light to be concentrated to point forward.

What is the difference between parabolic and concave mirrors?

In the case of concave mirrors parallel rays, parallel to the principal axis and incident near the pole(axial rays), after reflection will converge to the principal focus.Rays reflected from the marginal portions of the mirror(marginal rays) will converge to points nearer than the focus. Due to this the image formed by a concave mirror of large aperture will be blurred. This defect is called spherical aberration. This defect can be overcome by using parabolic mirrors. In a parabolic mirror all the rays, axial rays as well as the marginal rays, incidenting on it after reflection will converge to the same principal focus. This is due to the geometric property of the parabola, that is parabola allows only one focus.Hence in a parabolic mirror there is no spherical aberration and the image will be sharp and clear.


Why concave mirror is used in search lights?

The concave shape focuses the light into a narrow beam. If the mirror was convex, the light would be spread out - useless for searching into any distance.


What mirror causes light rays to converge?

concave mirror and convex lens can be used to focus light rays. they are also called converging mirror and lens respectively. They focus the light at a distance of its focal length.


What is the significance of the center of curvature in a concave mirror?

The center of curvature in a concave mirror is important because it is the point where the mirror's surface is perfectly curved. Light rays that are parallel to the mirror's principal axis and strike the mirror will either converge or diverge at this point, depending on the mirror's shape. This point helps determine the focal length and image formation in concave mirrors.

How does a parabolic mirror concave shape affect the reflection of light?

A parabolic mirror with a concave shape focuses incoming light rays to a single point called the focal point. This results in a concentrated and intensified reflection of light, making the mirror useful for applications such as telescopes and satellite dishes.


Is a security mirror concave?

No, a security mirror is typically convex in shape. This shape helps to widen the field of view for observing a wider area and reducing blind spots.
