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.
What else can I help you with?
What is a mirror that is curved?
A mirror that is curved outward is convex. A mirror that is curved inward is concave.
A concave mirror is curved?

A mirror that's curves outward?
A "concave" mirror curves inward. A "convex" mirror curves outward.
Which of the mirrors depicted above is a single concave mirror?
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.
How would you draw a principal axis for a concave mirror?
To draw the principal axis for a concave mirror, start by sketching a horizontal line that represents the principal axis. Then, draw the concave mirror as a curved line facing the incoming light, with the reflective surface on the inside of the curve. Mark the focal point (F) on the principal axis at a distance equal to the focal length from the mirror's surface, and indicate the center of curvature (C) at twice that distance (2F) from the mirror. This principal axis is essential for understanding how light rays reflect off the mirror.
How do you find the virtual focus in a convex mirror?
since the convex mirror is curved outwards the the focus is behind the mirror
What is a mirror that is curved?
A mirror that is curved outward is convex. A mirror that is curved inward is concave.
What are the similarities and differences between concave and convex mirrors?
Definitions found on www.dictionary.com Concave: a curved like a segment of the interior of a circle or hollow sphere; hollow and curved Convex:having a surface that is curved or rounded outwardsBoth concave and convex mirrors are spherical mirrorsconcave mirrora spherical mirror whose reflecting surface is curved inwards is called a concave mirrorconvex mirrora spherical mirror whose reflecting surface is curved outwards is called a convex mirror
What is curved mirror?
It is a mirror whose reflecting surface is curved, not flat (as in a plane mirror).
What shape is a lens?
a shape of a lens is curved outwards and concave one are curved in wards
How can you distinguish between a plane mirror concave mirror and a convex mirror by merely looking at the mirror?
If our image is real and inverted and smaller than the object ,then it is a concave mirror; if the image is virtual and erect and larger than the object,then it is a convex mirror; if the image is of the same size as of the object,it is a plane mirror. that is how we can distinguish or identify which of the given mirrors are what. BUT if the angle is very small you cannot tell Plane is flat, convex it curves outwards and concave it curves inwards.
Does a convex mirror curve inwards or outwards?
The convex mirror curves outwards while the concave mirror would curve inwards. The convex mirror traces light out making faraway objects bigger like in a telescope.
How is an image seen in a plane mirror with the image in a convex mirror different?
Concave: a curved like a segment of the interior of a circle or hollow sphere; hollow and curved Convex:having a surface that is curved or rounded outwards plane-a flat mirror
Is the reflecting surface of the mirror flat curved inward or curved outward?
The reflecting surface of a mirror is flat.
What is it called when a mirror bends inwards or outwards?
Convex when it bends outwards, concave when it bends inwards
What are the parts of curve mirror?
what are the parts of the curved mirror
Does the word 'convex' mean curved outwards or curved inwards?
The word 'convex' refers to a shape that is curved outwards. In geometric terms, a convex shape bulges outward, resembling the exterior of a sphere or a dome. This is in contrast to 'concave,' which describes a shape that curves inwards.
