Concave mirror
* its reflecting surface is curved inwards
*it can form both real and virtual images
*the centre of curvature and the focus lies in front of the mirror
*it can form both enlarged and diminished images
Convex mirror
* its reflecting surface is curved outwards
*it can form only virtual images
*the centre of curvature and the focus lies behind the mirror
*it can form only diminished images

What the difference between the virtual image created by a concave and plane and a convex mirror?
THough all are erect, in concave it will be enlarged in plane mirror of the same size as the object but in convex mirror it will be dimished
Can a concave mirror act as a convex mirror?
No, a concave mirror and a convex mirror have different curvatures and focal points. A concave mirror reflects light inward, converging it to a focal point, while a convex mirror reflects light outward, diverging it. They cannot interchange their functions.
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.
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.

Application for concave mirror and convex mirror?
Concave mirrors are used in telescopes. Convex mirrors are used as side-view mirrors in cars.
Is a diverging mirror always concave?
a diverging mirror is a convex mirror.
