It is a mirror whose reflecting surface is curved, not flat (as in a plane mirror).

Does a convex mirror curve inwards or outwards?

The convex mirror curves outwards while the concave mirror would curve inwards. The convex mirror traces light out making faraway objects bigger like in a telescope.


What generalization can you make regarding the nature of the images formed by a concave mirror?

The incoming light will intersect at a focal point determined by parabolic curve of the mirror.


Does a curved mirror necessarily have optical power?

Yes but a complex curve will not have a simple or single optical power.


Do light rays reflect or refract when they hit a convex mirror?

A convex mirror has the same type of curve as the bottom of a spoon - it bulges out. Mirrors reflect.


What are the two kind of mirror in compound microscope?

Convex - which is the flat or the plain mirror and it has the lesser lights to receivebut its has the more light intensity.Concave - which is the curve mirror where the lights to receive is more than the convexbut it has the less light intensity.


What is an example of a concave mirror?

One example of a concave mirror is a shaving or makeup mirror. These mirrors curve inward, causing light rays to converge to a focal point. This type of mirror is commonly used in applications where magnification or focusing of light is required.


What do you mean by convex mirror and concave mirror?

concave and convex refer to the curve of the mirror. if it is concave, it curves in at the middle, like a 'cave'. if it is convex, it curves out at the middle, like an eye. think of a spoon - one side is convex, the other is concave. this curve will affect the image the mirror shows.


How is a concave mirror shaped differently from a plane mirror?

A normal mirror is flat, like this: l . A concave mirror on the other hand, has a slight inward curve, like this: ( . And, if you're interested, a convex mirror has a slight outward curve, like this: ) . This is to provide a wider view.


How does light reflect of a convex mirror?

Light rays striking a convex mirror are reflected away from each other due to the outward curve of the mirror. The reflected rays diverge and do not converge to a focal point, resulting in an upright and diminished virtual image.


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.
