Convex: Makes images smaller

Concave: Makes images larger. Eventually as you take it away from the image it flips the image.

How is the image formed by a concave lens similar to the image formed by a convex mirror?

In a concave lens the object always forms a virtual image. The convex lens also forms a virtual image.


How do images formed by a concave lens and convex mirror compare?

Images formed by a concave lens are virtual, upright, and reduced in size, while images formed by a convex mirror are virtual, upright, and smaller than the object. Both types of images result from diverging light rays.


What generalization can you make regarding the nature of the images formed by convex mirror?

the image will be Unreal. Concave mirrors form a real and inverted image where in tn convex mirrors the images are unreal.


Is it true that an image formed by a convex mirror is always inverted?

No, an image formed by a convex mirror is always virtual and upright. Concave mirrors can form both real and inverted images.


Is a convex lens more like a convex mirror or a concave mirror in the way it produces images?

A convex lens is more like a concave mirror in the way it produces images. A convex lens converges light rays to form real or virtual images, much like how a concave mirror can do the same by reflecting light. Both convex lenses and concave mirrors can produce both real and virtual images depending on the object's position relative to the lens or mirror.


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.


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.


What types of images are produced by a concave mirror?

A concave mirror is dished in ward. A convex mirror domed. Both images will be distorted in size from actuality. A convex mirror will give a wider view of what you are looking at in the mirror. A concave mirror will compress and magnify the image being viewed.


Five difference between a concave mirrors and convex mirrors?

Concave Vs Convex 1. Mercury coating will be made on the convex side but here on concave side. So reflecting portion would become concave and here convex 2. Both real and virtual images but only virtual images 3. Both diminished, enlarged and even same size images formed but only diminished. 4. Both inverted (real) and erect (virtual) images but only erect images. 5. Used as shaving mirror and in telescopes but used as rear view mirror


Why is concave and convex important?

Concave and convex shapes play important roles in various fields such as optics, mathematics, and design. In optics, concave and convex lenses are used to converge or diverge light, which is crucial in forming images. In mathematics, understanding concave and convex functions aids in optimization and determining the behavior of functions. In design, elements with concave and convex surfaces can enhance aesthetics and functionality in products and architecture.


Similarity between convex lens and concave lens?

they are both lenses and form images


What the difference between the virtual image created by a concave and plane and a convex mirror?

THough all are erect, in concave it will be enlarged in plane mirror of the same size as the object but in convex mirror it will be dimished
