there is an imaginary point in front of the concave mirror, called the focal point or focus, which is half the length of the radius of the sphere of which the mirror was a part of(radius of curvature). usually an object if seen in between the mirror and focus gets magnified, beyond the focus, it gets inverted and reduced.

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.


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.


What factor influences the image produced by reflection of an object in a concave mirror?

Distance from the mirror, curvature of the mirror.


What are the properties of a concave mirror?

This would be a mirror with when you look at it, the center of the mirror is deeper than the sides surrounding the center. convex would be the opposite with the center closer to you than the sides.


What type of images does a converging mirror produce?

A converging mirror, such as a concave mirror, can produce real and inverted images for objects located beyond the focal point, or virtual and upright images for objects located between the focal point and the mirror. The size of the image can be larger or smaller than the object depending on its position relative to the mirror.

the image will always be located somewhere on the opposite side of the mirror.

How can you distinguish between a plane concave and a convex mirror without touching them?

One way to distinguish between a plane concave and convex mirror without touching them is to observe their reflected images. A concave mirror will produce an upright and magnified image of an object placed in front of it, while a convex mirror will produce an upright and diminished image. Another way is to look at the reflection of a distant object – a concave mirror will form a real image, while a convex mirror will create a virtual 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.


Differentiate concave mirror from the convex mirror?

A concave mirror curves inward and can focus light rays to a single point, called the focal point. It can produce real or virtual images depending on the object's distance from the mirror. On the other hand, a convex mirror curves outward and always produces virtual, upright, and diminished images.
