Concave and Convex Mirrors

Description

Mirrors come in two main shapes: concave and convex. Concave mirrors curve inwards, like a spoon. They can focus light to create magnified or even inverted images, useful for things like telescopes and makeup mirrors. Convex mirrors bulge outwards, offering a wider field of view. They create virtual, diminished images, making them ideal for security mirrors in stores or for seeing around corners, A convex mirror is a curved mirror bulging outward. It diverges light rays, creating a virtual image that’s smaller than the object. This wider field of view makes it perfect for rear-view mirrors in vehicles. Convex mirrors are also used in security surveillance and to prevent accidents in blind spots.
