A lens is an optical device that refracts light to form an image, while a mirror is an optical device that reflects light to form an image. A lens uses refraction to bend light rays, while a mirror uses reflection to change the direction of light rays. Both lenses and mirrors can be used to focus light and form images.
A virtual image is formed by light rays that appear to diverge from a point behind a mirror or lens, while a real image is formed by light rays that converge at a point in front of a mirror or lens.
The difference is that when virtual image is formed by the concave mirror...it is larger than its original size..but when it is formed by the convex mirror..it is smaller than the original size....
The focal point is the point where light converges after it passes through a concave lens. The focal length is the distance of the focal point to the lens. Same for a convex lens, except that the focal point is the imaginary point from where light deflected from lens seems to have emerged.
A concave lens is thinner in the middle and thicker at the edges, causing light rays to diverge. A concave mirror, on the other hand, is curved inward like the inside of a bowl, causing light rays to converge at a focal point. Both have different optical properties and applications.
i do not think so because a mirror an a lens is two same things except that mirrors can reflect the water and the lens may refract or bend the water so that can change the focal length between the mirror and the lens
Light passes through a lens, typically being bent by refraction. Light reflects off a mirror.

a lens you can see through and a mirror reflects
A concave lens is thinner in the middle and thicker at the edges, causing light rays to diverge. A concave mirror, on the other hand, is curved inward like the inside of a bowl, causing light rays to converge at a focal point. Both have different optical properties and applications.
the name

The lens size is the only difference the XL have a bigger lens.
Focal point
The difference between the two is that once the light passes through the concave lens it diverges, and the rays are refracted outward, and never meet a focal point. Then there is the parallel light rays that bounce off the curved surface of a concave mirror and then meet a single point ( focal point).
concave lens will form exact mirror image.
