With Concave, the ends are "bent" towards you, making your reflection look short and stubby.

With Convex, the ends are "bent" away from you making your reflection look tall and thinner

What are the two types of curve mirrors?

The two types of curved mirrors are concave and convex mirrors. Concave mirrors curve inward and can create both real and virtual images, while convex mirrors curve outward and only produce virtual images.


Is convex and concave mirrors also known as spherical mirrors?

Yes convex and concave mirrors are also known as spherical mirrors. If mercury coating is made on the convex side of the spherical then mirror is known as concave mirror. If mercury coating is made on the concave side the convex portion would reflect the light fallen so it is named as convex mirror. Actual just a small part of the sphere is taken out and this would act as the spherical mirror.


Are diverging mirrors and convex mirrors the same thing?

No, diverging mirrors and convex mirrors are not the same thing. A diverging mirror is a concave mirror, while a convex mirror is a mirror that curves outward. Convex mirrors have a wider field of view compared to diverging mirrors.


What are three similarities between concave and convex mirrors?

Both concave and convex mirrors can create virtual images, which are images that cannot be projected onto a screen. Both types of mirrors follow the laws of reflection, with the angle of incidence being equal to the angle of reflection. Both concave and convex mirrors can be used in optical devices such as makeup mirrors or security mirrors.

Name two types of curved mirrors?

Concave mirrors and convex mirrors are two types of curved mirrors. Concave mirrors converge light rays to a focal point and can form real or virtual images. Convex mirrors diverge light rays and produce virtual, upright, and diminished images.


Are diverging mirrors and convex mirrors the same thing?

No, diverging mirrors and convex mirrors are not the same thing. A diverging mirror is a concave mirror, while a convex mirror is a mirror that curves outward. Convex mirrors have a wider field of view compared to diverging mirrors.

Different kinds of mirrors?

Some types of mirrors include plane mirrors, concave mirrors, and convex mirrors. Plane mirrors have flat surfaces, concave mirrors curve inward like the inside of a bowl, and convex mirrors curve outward like the outside of a bowl. Each type of mirror has unique properties that affect how they reflect light.


What is important in concave and convex mirror?

In concave mirrors, the focal point, focal length, and magnification are important. Concave mirrors can form real or virtual images depending on the object's position relative to the mirror. In convex mirrors, the field of view and image size are important. Convex mirrors always produce virtual images that are smaller and upright compared to the object.
