Wherever the source of light is, after reflection by the surface of a convex mirror the rays would go always diverged. Hence the name "diverging mirror"

Is a torch mirror concave or convex?

Are diverging mirrors and convex mirrors the same thing?

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.


What is another name for a convex lens?

Concave and convex can refer the types of lenses used to treat refractive errors in the eyes. Concave is another word for myopic lens and convex is another name for a hyperopic lens also known as nearsighted and farsighted respectively


Why convex mirror called diverging mirror?

Convex mirrors are called diverging mirrors because they cause incident light rays to spread out or diverge upon reflection. This creates a virtual image that appears smaller and upright compared to the object. The outward bending nature of the mirror's surface is what leads to the divergence of light rays.


Does Other name of convex mirror diverging mirror?

Yes, a convex mirror is also known as a diverging mirror because it diverges light rays that fall on it, causing them to spread out. This type of mirror forms virtual, upright, and smaller images of objects placed in front of it.


What type of mirror produces only diverging rays?

Which type of mirror is most similar to a convex lens?

A convex mirror is most similar to a diverging lens. Both surfaces curve outward and cause light rays to diverge.


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.


Light is refracted and spread out by concave or convex mirrors?

Mirrors reflect light, not refract it. When light hits a concave mirror, it converges to a point known as the focal point. Conversely, light spreading out from a point source will be reflected by a convex mirror, diverging and spreading out.
