No pure mirror refracts. Refraction is caused by a change of the medium through which the light passes, which is accompanied by change of refractive index (change in the velocity of the light).

How incident ray are refracted by a convex mirror?

A convex mirror does not refract light; it reflects it. When an incident ray strikes a convex mirror, it reflects back in a way that obeys the law of reflection—angle of incidence equals angle of reflection. This creates a virtual image that appears behind the mirror.


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.


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.


Which mirror is used in agra fort?

When viewed in a spherical mirror the image of a setting is a virtual image. The image lies 12cm behind the mirror .Is this mirror concave or convex?

The mirror in this case is a convex mirror, as virtual images are formed by convex mirrors.
