You could do that, but the intensity may not be of any real value. You would be getting a lower input of light than what is coming directly from the sun right behind you.
Yes they do. They also include concave mirrors and a plane mirror.
Parts of a curved mirror include the reflective surface and the curved shape, which can be concave (curves inward) or convex (curves outward). The function of a concave mirror is to reflect and converge light rays to create real or virtual images depending on the object's placement. Convex mirrors, on the other hand, diverge light rays to create virtual, upright, and diminished images.
Cold-core rings are typically characterized by colder water at their center, creating a density gradient that causes the surface to dip inward, resulting in a concave shape. Conversely, warm-core rings have warmer water at their center, leading to a buoyancy effect that causes the surface to bulge outward, creating a convex shape. These formations are influenced by the thermohaline properties of the water and the dynamics of ocean currents. Thus, the concave and convex shapes reflect the underlying temperature and density distributions within the rings.
No, that's concave Convex is thin at the edges and thick in the middle.

A convex mirror has the same type of curve as the bottom of a spoon - it bulges out. Mirrors reflect.
so you can see far away and reflect them to other convex mirrors
A convex lens can concentrate sunlight to a small point, creating intense heat that can ignite materials. By focusing sunlight through a convex lens onto a combustible material, you can generate enough heat to start a fire. This process is called solar or lens fire starting.
A convex mirror will make light rays more divergent. This is because when light rays strike a convex mirror, they will reflect outwards in different directions, causing them to spread out or diverge.
If it's really a "mirror", then it reflects light, regardless of its shape.
Yes, convex mirrors are used in projectors to reflect and focus light onto the screen or surface. The curved shape of the convex mirror helps to spread the light rays in a way that helps to create a clearer and larger image.
Yes, a convex lens can be used to focus sunlight onto a small spot on a piece of paper, causing it to heat up and potentially burn. By concentrating the sunlight into a small area, the lens can increase the intensity of the light and generate enough heat to ignite the paper.
No magnification, but only concentrating all the rays ie energy at a point.
"A convex mirror is sometimes referred to as a divergingmirror due to the fact that incident light originating from the same point and will reflect off the mirror surface and diverge."So, a convex mirror will reflect and diverge (scatter) the incident light rays (it produces a virtual image), while a convex lens will do the opposite. It will converge light rays passing through it.
A parallel light source will reflect off a concave mirror and go through a point inside the curve called the focus. Reflecting from a convex mirror will cause all light to bounce off in a straight line away from a focus point behind the mirror.
Mirrors reflect light, not refract it. When light hits a concave mirror, it converges to a point known as the focal point. Conversely, light spreading out from a point source will be reflected by a convex mirror, diverging and spreading out.
