Description
Spherical mirror: When the polished surface from where the light reflects is a part of a sphere, then it is called a spherical mirror. Spherical mirrors are of two types: concave mirrors and convex mirrors.
Concave mirror: The spherical part of the sphere, which is painted from the outer side, is called a concave mirror.
- The concave mirrors are used as shaving mirrors as they magnify objects placed close to them.
- These mirrors form real images as they have real focus and are called converging mirrors.
Convex mirror: The spherical part of the mirror, which is painted from the inner side, is called a convex mirror.
- The convex mirrors are the side view mirrors of cars. These types of mirrors have wider fields of view than flat mirrors, but objects appear smaller in them.
- These mirrors always form a virtual image because the focus is virtual. They are also called as diverging mirrors.
