Concave mirrors are used to focus light, to produce a parallel beam in car headlights, and so you can have a close look while shaving.
Convex mirrors are used for making telescopes, viewfinders in vehicles, and used in supermarkets or stores as surveillance as it gives a wider view.

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.
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.
What is a Mirror that curves out in the middle?
A concave mirror curves inward in the middle, while a convex mirror curves outward in the middle.

A mirror that curves inwards?
Such a mirror is concave.

Is a diverging mirror always concave?
a diverging mirror is a convex mirror.
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 shaving mirror concave or convex?
A shaving mirror is concave as it used used to magnify the image.
Can a convex mirror act as concave mirror?
If this mirror is reflective on both sides, then it can be both concave and convex. Otherwise, the two cannot act like one another.
