A mirror that is curved outward is convex. A mirror that is curved inward is concave.
inword
A "concave" mirror curves inward. A "convex" mirror curves outward.
A mirror that is curved outwards is called a convex mirror. Convex mirrors cause light rays to diverge, which results in a wider field of view and produces smaller, upright images. They are commonly used in applications like vehicle side mirrors and security mirrors due to their ability to minimize blind spots.
I'm unable to view images or diagrams, so I can't identify which mirror is a single concave mirror based on your description. However, a single concave mirror is characterized by its inwardly curved reflective surface. If you can provide descriptions of the mirrors, I can help you determine which one is the concave mirror.
The plane of a concave mirror refers to the flat surface that would be created if the mirror were extended outward from its curved surface. In optics, it serves as a reference plane for understanding the mirror's curvature and the behavior of light rays reflecting off its surface. The principal focus and the center of curvature are defined in relation to this plane, which helps in determining image formation and other optical properties.
It is a mirror whose reflecting surface is curved, not flat (as in a plane mirror).
The reflecting surface of a mirror is flat.

It depends on the shape of mirror. If the mirror is straight and not curved, light bounces back in a manner. If it is curved, the reflected image will look different.

because they need to be curved in order to reflect like a convex mirror needs to be curved so it can show thing bigger
A concave mirror is curved inwards, causing light rays parallel to the mirror's axis to converge at a focal point in front of the mirror. This type of mirror can be used for focusing light in various optical devices like telescopes and shaving mirrors.
since the convex mirror is curved outwards the the focus is behind the mirror
