What is position of focus point in convex mirror and concave mirror?
In a convex mirror, the focus point is located behind the mirror, on the same side as the object. In a concave mirror, the focus point is located in front of the mirror, on the opposite side of the object.
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 do you mean by convex mirror and concave mirror?
concave and convex refer to the curve of the mirror. if it is concave, it curves in at the middle, like a 'cave'. if it is convex, it curves out at the middle, like an eye. think of a spoon - one side is convex, the other is concave. this curve will affect the image the mirror shows.
Explain the difference between the concave mirror and convex mirror?
A convex mirror bulges out. A concave mirror curves inward.For a convex mirror, light rays are reflected to meet at a point, while, for a concave mirror, light rays seem to be reflected from a point. If the incident rays were paraxial, the reflected rays are reflected to meet at, or appear to be reflected to a point referred to as the focal point of the lens. For a convex mirror, the focal point is real, while, that of a concave lens is virtual.
Examples of concave and convex mirrors?
Convex means rounded or curved like the exterior of a circle or sphere. Also called as fish eye or diverging mirror. The mirror coating of the concave mirror is on the outside of the spherical surface. In concave mirrors, the center of curvature and the reflecting surface fall on the same side of the mirror.
Application for concave mirror and convex mirror?
Concave mirrors are used in telescopes. Convex mirrors are used as side-view mirrors in cars.

How can you distinguish between a plane mirror concave mirror and a convex mirror by merely looking at the mirror?
If our image is real and inverted and smaller than the object ,then it is a concave mirror; if the image is virtual and erect and larger than the object,then it is a convex mirror; if the image is of the same size as of the object,it is a plane mirror. that is how we can distinguish or identify which of the given mirrors are what. BUT if the angle is very small you cannot tell Plane is flat, convex it curves outwards and concave it curves inwards.
Is a concave or convex mirror used for passenger side mirrors?
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).
Why do you use concave mirrors on the passenger side?
Actually it is a convex mirror, it bulges out in the center. This increases the field of view from a normal flat mirror so that you can see more area from side to side. So that you can see to the rear and to the side into the blind spot. concave is shaped like the inside of a bowl. Convex is shaped like the outside of a bowl or dome. The hint is to think "cave" inside a cave or bowl so conCAVE
How is an image seen in a plane mirror with the image in a convex mirror different?
Concave: a curved like a segment of the interior of a circle or hollow sphere; hollow and curved Convex:having a surface that is curved or rounded outwards plane-a flat mirror
What is a mirror that curves outward?
A convex mirror curves outward, causing light rays to diverge. This type of mirror is often used in security mirrors, car side-view mirrors, and as a safety feature in public spaces to provide a wider field of view.
Explain how an image produced by a convex mirror is similar to an image produced by a concave lens?
An image produced by a convex mirror and an image produced by a concave lens are both virtual, erect, and diminished. They both form on the same side as the object and the images appear smaller than the object itself.
