Concave mirror: the spherical mirror with inward curved reflecting surface is called concave mirror. A beam of light generally converges after reflection from such surfaces, it is also called convergent mirror.Convex mirror: the spherical mirror with outward curved reflecting surface is called convex mirror. A beam of light generally diverges after reflection from this surface, it is also called divergent mirror.
Convex mirror : 1. Reflecting surfaces is in the outer part of the sphere. 2. Image is virtual and erect. 3. Magnification is always less than 1 .
Concave mirror : 1. Reflecting surface is in the inner part of the mirror . 2. Image can be a real and inverted or virtual and erect . 3. Magnification can be either greater,equal or less than 1 .
