A concave dish, more specifically parabolic or spherical, will focus any parallel rays toward the focal point of the curve. This allows the fish to collect a signal from a large area and focus it into a small area (electronic sensor)
Convex . . . "curved out", like the outside of a balloon, the outside of a smooth hubcap, and the top of a half-eaten ice-cream cone. Concave . . . "curved in", like the top of the ice-cream in the tub after the first five cones have been scooped out, the mark a rock makes in snow, and the inside of a soup bowl.
It depends on the uses the lens are going to be put to. A lens may have a convex front and a flat back, or a convex front and a concave back, or even a convex surface on both front and back. Or even concave on both the front and back.Concave means bowed inwards.Convex means bowed outwards.
The best example would be to take a metal spoon that is shiny. Look at the spoon so the curved part is facing away from you. The dip you can see is called Concave. The other side that protrudes is called Convex. When you look at the concave side your face will appear squashed, wider at the top and bottom but very narrow in the middle. When you look at the convex side, your face will appear wide and fatter, almost like a football. This is because of the light rays reflective at a different angle.
no because its not curved
No, a concave polygon cannot be a regular polygon.
Definitions found on www.dictionary.com Concave: a curved like a segment of the interior of a circle or hollow sphere; hollow and curved Convex:having a surface that is curved or rounded outwardsBoth concave and convex mirrors are spherical mirrorsconcave mirrora spherical mirror whose reflecting surface is curved inwards is called a concave mirrorconvex mirrora spherical mirror whose reflecting surface is curved outwards is called a convex mirror
concave=in convex=out
convex means in geography as something which is curved outward for example a hill is convex because it is curved outwardly and don't get confused in concave of hill because a hill never is concave a bowl is concave so convex is curved outwardly and concave is curved inwardly
Convex means rounded or curved like the exterior of a circle or sphere. Also called as fish eye or diverging mirror. The mirror coating of the concave mirror is on the outside of the spherical surface. In concave mirrors, the center of curvature and the reflecting surface fall on the same side of the mirror.
A mirror that is curved outward is convex. A mirror that is curved inward is concave.
A mirror that is curved outward is convex. A mirror that is curved inward is concave.
There are actually five kinds of curved lines: convex, concave, S-shaped, scallop, and spiral.
Curved mirrors are mirrors that have a spherical side. example - concave and convex.
A concave mirror, or converging mirror, has a reflecting surface that bulges inward (away from the incident light). A convex mirror, fish eye mirror or diverging mirror, is a curved mirror in which the reflective surface bulges toward the light source.
A converging mirror is also referred to as a concave mirror. Its reflecting surface curves inwards and usually forms a virtual image. Whereas, a diverging mirror's reflecting surface is curved outwards and can form both real and virtual images.
They are: concave (curved away from the observer) convex (curved toward the observer)
Two types of curved mirrors are: concave and convex.
