convex. Which is easy to remember as the other is a depression like the entrance to a cave...so it is called "concave"
No, diverging mirrors and convex mirrors are not the same thing. A diverging mirror is a concave mirror, while a convex mirror is a mirror that curves outward. Convex mirrors have a wider field of view compared to diverging mirrors.
convex
A convex mirror is most similar to a diverging lens. Both surfaces curve outward and cause light rays to diverge.
Concave describes a surface that curves inward like the inside of a bowl, while convex describes a surface that curves outward like the outside of a ball. In a concave shape, the center of the curve is higher than the edges, whereas in a convex shape, the center is lower than the edges.
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.

A convex lens curves outward, forming an elliptical shape.

Convex is an adjective that describes something has a surface or boundary that curves or bulges outward. Convex lens are thicker at the center, they do cause light to converge.
A magnifying glass is convex, meaning that the lens curves outward.

Optical axis. There ya go!
A convex mirror is most similar to a diverging lens. Both surfaces curve outward and cause light rays to diverge.
Concave describes a surface that curves inward like the inside of a bowl, while convex describes a surface that curves outward like the outside of a ball. In a concave shape, the center of the curve is higher than the edges, whereas in a convex shape, the center is lower than the edges.
A convex lens curves outwards, meaning the surface facing away from the center is rounded or bulging outwards. This type of lens converges light rays to a focal point, and is commonly used in magnifying glasses and camera lenses.
