Question
How can we distinguish between concave and convex mirrors?
✓
Answer
To distinguish between concave and convex mirrors, observe how they reflect light and the images they form. Concave mirrors curve inward, causing parallel light rays to converge at a focal point, and can form both real and virtual images. Convex mirrors curve outward, causing parallel light rays to diverge, and always form virtual, diminished images.
