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

Is it possible to find whether a mirror is plane concave or convex from the nature of image of an object?

Yes possible. If we place an object somehow close to the mirror and observe the image. If the image is of the same size as that of the object then it is a PLANE mirror If the image is magnified and erect, then it will be a concave mirror If the image is dimisnished then the mirror is convex in nature.


How would you find the focal point of a convex mirror?

To find the focal point of a convex mirror, you can use the formula: f = R/2, where R is the radius of curvature of the mirror. The focal point of a convex mirror is located behind the mirror, at a distance equal to half the radius of curvature.


Why focal length of convex lens is easier to find than a concave lense?

The focal length of a convex lens is easier to find than a concave lens because for a convex lens, the focal length is positive and is measured from the lens to the focal point. In contrast, for a concave lens, the focal length is negative and the rays of light are diverged. This makes it more challenging to find the focal point accurately.


Is a place you might find a convex mirror?

A convenience store


Why is your image in a spoon is upside down if you look into into the bowl but erect if you look into the back?

What a nice question. These two different images illustrate the difference between a reflection from a concave and a convex surface. However, if you look in a concave beauty/shaving mirror, you'll still find the image erect. For you will be closer to the mirror than the length of its focus. Enlarged a little indeed.

How do you find the virtual focus in a convex mirror?

since the convex mirror is curved outwards the the focus is behind the mirror


Where do you find concave and convex lenses around your house?

windows if u have a old camera or binoculars,u could open them up and get the concave and convex lenses from there.

What are the types of lenses. what are their names?

Convex, concave. Seriously you can find this stuff in a book.


Plane mirror convex or concave mirror which is best for bicycle mirror?

I use a mirror with a slight convex curve - like the outside of a spoon, but a lot less bent. But it's hard to find a good one. If you fasten a flat mirror most places on a bicycle, the mirror image will shake around so you can't see it. Also, in a convex mirror, you can see more of the road. But if it's too much bent, too round, then the image is distorted and you can't judge where a vehicle in the mirror really is. The last mirror I bought was described as convex, but actually is flat, so I'm planning to get a piece of car mirror glass cut by a glazier to fit in the frame. That glass is just a little convex.

Which mirror is used for security?

the answer is convex lens! to find this out you should know that concave lens are curved outward and convex lens are curved inward! i hope this helped and if it didn't i would like to apologize for not answering your question, now i bid a fine fairwell to all!

A place you might find a convex mirror?

Just by the side of the driver of a bus or lorry which is named as rear view mirror.
