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).
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.
A convex mirror has the same type of curve as the bottom of a spoon - it bulges out. Mirrors reflect.
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.
The mirror in this case is a convex mirror, as virtual images are formed by convex mirrors.
The image formed by the convex mirror is virtual, erect and diminished.

it is a convex mirror as it produces diverging waves
since the convex mirror is curved outwards the the focus is behind the mirror

A concave mirror curves inward in the middle, while a convex mirror curves outward in the middle.
