Light rays striking a convex mirror are reflected away from each other due to the outward curve of the mirror. The reflected rays diverge and do not converge to a focal point, resulting in an upright and diminished virtual image.
A convex mirror has the same type of curve as the bottom of a spoon - it bulges out. Mirrors reflect.
A convex mirror will make light rays more divergent. This is because when light rays strike a convex mirror, they will reflect outwards in different directions, causing them to spread out or diverge.
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.
"A convex mirror is sometimes referred to as a divergingmirror due to the fact that incident light originating from the same point and will reflect off the mirror surface and diverge."So, a convex mirror will reflect and diverge (scatter) the incident light rays (it produces a virtual image), while a convex lens will do the opposite. It will converge light rays passing through it.
The convex mirror curves outwards while the concave mirror would curve inwards. The convex mirror traces light out making faraway objects bigger like in a telescope.

A parallel light source will reflect off a concave mirror and go through a point inside the curve called the focus. Reflecting from a convex mirror will cause all light to bounce off in a straight line away from a focus point behind the mirror.
The convex mirror curves outwards while the concave mirror would curve inwards. The convex mirror traces light out making faraway objects bigger like in a telescope.
A street light mirror is typically concave. Concave mirrors are used in street lights to reflect light downwards and maximize illumination on the street below. The curved surface of the concave mirror helps to focus the light in a specific direction.
If it's really a "mirror", then it reflects light, regardless of its shape.
By 'Atomic Scattering', which is the absorption and re-emission of light energy by the particles of a medium which will not absorb the energy. It depends if the mirror is concave or convex. The light reflects differently depending on the type of mirror.
A concave mirror causes light to converge to a focal point, while a convex mirror causes light to diverge and spread out.
Parallel light rays hitting a convex mirror will reflect and diverge outward, appearing to originate from the mirror's focal point behind the mirror. This creates a virtual image that is upright and reduced in size compared to the object.
Yes, convex mirrors are used in projectors to reflect and focus light onto the screen or surface. The curved shape of the convex mirror helps to spread the light rays in a way that helps to create a clearer and larger image.
