A concave mirror is dished in ward. A convex mirror domed. Both images will be distorted in size from actuality. A convex mirror will give a wider view of what you are looking at in the mirror. A concave mirror will compress and magnify the image being viewed.

What are the two types of curve mirrors?

The two types of curved mirrors are concave and convex mirrors. Concave mirrors curve inward and can create both real and virtual images, while convex mirrors curve outward and only produce virtual images.


What types of images are produced by conave mirrors?

Concave mirrors can produce both real and virtual images. Real images are formed when reflected light rays physically converge to a point, while virtual images are formed when light rays appear to diverge from a point behind the mirror. The size and orientation of the image depend on the position of the object relative to the mirror's focal point.


How do images formed by a concave lens and convex mirror compare?

Images formed by a concave lens are virtual, upright, and reduced in size, while images formed by a convex mirror are virtual, upright, and smaller than the object. Both types of images result from diverging light rays.


When do you use the plane and concave sides of the mirror of a microscope?

Plane Mirror - are standard, flat mirrors, produce images of the same size and distance as the objects they reflect Concave Mirror - Used to focus light, they reflect it inward toward one focal point. Concave mirrors show different types of images, depending on the distance between the mirror and the object reflected. Concave mirrors are used quite frequently in day-to-day life

Describe the Images produced by a concave mirror?

A concave mirror, or converging mirror, has a reflecting surface that bulges inward (away from the incident light). Concave mirrors reflect light inward to one focal point.They are used to focus light. Unlike convex mirrors, concave mirrors show different image types depending on the distance between the object and the mirror.These mirrors are called "converging" because they tend to collect light that falls on them, refocusing parallel incoming rays toward a focus. This is because the light is reflected at different angles, since the normal to the surface differs with each spot on the mirror.
