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.

Do light rays reflect or refract when they hit a convex mirror?

A convex mirror has the same type of curve as the bottom of a spoon - it bulges out. Mirrors reflect.


Why convex mirror are used in security stores?

so you can see far away and reflect them to other convex mirrors


Why would you use convex lens to start a fire?

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 or less?

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.


Do convex mirror reflect light?

If it's really a "mirror", then it reflects light, regardless of its shape.


Are convex mirrors used in projectors?

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.


Can a convex lens be used to burn a piece of paper using the sunlight?

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.


Do convex lenses magnify sunlight?

No magnification, but only concentrating all the rays ie energy at a point.


A convex mirror will make light rays more what?

"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.


How does light reflect off a convex and concave?

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.


Light is refracted and spread out by concave or convex mirrors?

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.
