Can a concave mirror act as a convex mirror?

No, a concave mirror and a convex mirror have different curvatures and focal points. A concave mirror reflects light inward, converging it to a focal point, while a convex mirror reflects light outward, diverging it. They cannot interchange their functions.


What is bigger concave or convex?

Convex is usually bigger than concave. In a convex shape, an imaginary line connecting any two points lies completely within the shape, making it appear more expansive. In contrast, a concave shape curves inward, often providing less surface area than a convex shape of similar dimensions.


Why concave and convex mirrors are called spherical mirrors?

Concave and convex mirrors are called spherical mirrors because their reflecting surfaces are part of a sphere. This means that if the mirror were extended to form a complete spherical shape, it would have the same radius of curvature for all points on its surface.


Why it is easier to find the focal point of a convex lens than that of a concave lens?

It is easier to find the focal point of a convex lens than that of a concave lens because a convex lens has a positive focal length, meaning the focal point is on the opposite side of the lens from the incoming light. In contrast, a concave lens has a negative focal length, making it more complex to determine the exact location of the focal point. Additionally, the shape of a convex lens converges light rays to a single point, simplifying the process of identifying the focal point compared to the diverging nature of a concave lens.


What is the difference between concave mirror and convex mirror?

Eyesight = ------< = the lines are pointing to how it sees. You see things more clearly for far away things> = the lines are pointing to how it sees. You see things more clearly for close objects.Concave: ---------)(> objectConvex: ---------)< objectI hope you understand the answer. I didnt explain it too well.or you could try......concave is like a "cave"..it bends inwardsand convex is just the opposite it bends outwards....//nfjn//....concave mirror is the one which forms the inner part of the spherical mirror or its reflecting surface bulges inwards & convex is the one which bulges outwards. concave always forms real & inverted image while convex forms virtual & erect image

Is a yield sign concave or convex?

It is convex because you can draw a straight line between any two points on it without having to take your pen off of the sign.


Why is this statement false a polygon is concave if no diagonal contains points outside the polygon?

It should be convex

What is the difference between a convex shape and a concave shape?

i dont think any1 knows * * * * * A concave polygon has at least one reflex angle. Equivalently, in a convex polygon, a line joining ANY two points in (or on) the polygon lie wholly within (or on) the polygon. In a concave polygon there are at least two points for which the line joining them does not lie wholly inside (or on) the polygon.

What the difference between convex and non convex polygons?

In a non-convex (or concave) polygon, at least one interior angle is a reflex angle. An alternative definition is that if you take any two points inside a conves polygon, the line joining them is wholly inside the polygon.


Concaved is what?

If a shape is said to be concave, it means that it is possible to have two points that to connect, need a straight line segment that must cross outside of the shape. An example would be a cross. Others include the following symbols: +, v, L, x, z, and many others. The opposite of concave is convex.


What is a convex figure?

In a convex figure, if you pick any two points, the points between them are also a part of the figure.


What is differentiale convex and non-convex?

Take any two points on or inside a body. If every point on the straight line joining the two points lies within the shape, then it is convex. If not, it is non-convex.


Can a triangle be concave?

No, you would need at least 4 points to create a concave polygon.
