Convex mirrors are often used for side mirrors (if the mirror has a note saying "objects in mirror are closer than they appear," it's convex; it may be convex even without such a note).

Are diverging mirrors and convex mirrors the same thing?

No, diverging mirrors and convex mirrors are not the same thing. A diverging mirror is a concave mirror, while a convex mirror is a mirror that curves outward. Convex mirrors have a wider field of view compared to diverging mirrors.


What are examples of a plane a concave and convex mirrors?

Examples of planes are bathroom mirrors, windows, and floors. A concave mirror example is a makeup mirror, which magnifies the reflection. An example of a convex mirror is a security mirror, which gives a wider field of view.


Is convex and concave mirrors also known as spherical mirrors?

Yes convex and concave mirrors are also known as spherical mirrors. If mercury coating is made on the convex side of the spherical then mirror is known as concave mirror. If mercury coating is made on the concave side the convex portion would reflect the light fallen so it is named as convex mirror. Actual just a small part of the sphere is taken out and this would act as the spherical mirror.


What everyday uses can you find for a convex and concave mirror?

Not sure about mirrors but convex and concave lenses are used to treat conditions such as long/short sightedness.


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.


Different kinds of mirrors?

Some types of mirrors include plane mirrors, concave mirrors, and convex mirrors. Plane mirrors have flat surfaces, concave mirrors curve inward like the inside of a bowl, and convex mirrors curve outward like the outside of a bowl. Each type of mirror has unique properties that affect how they reflect light.


How are concave and convex mirrors are different from one another?

A convex mirror is thicker at the center than at the edge, whereas a concave mirror is thinner in the center than at the edge.


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.


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.


What is important in concave and convex mirror?

In concave mirrors, the focal point, focal length, and magnification are important. Concave mirrors can form real or virtual images depending on the object's position relative to the mirror. In convex mirrors, the field of view and image size are important. Convex mirrors always produce virtual images that are smaller and upright compared to the object.
