Write any seven differences between concave and convex mirror. (in table)
| Concave mirror | Convex mirror |
|---|---|
| A spherical mirror whose reflecting surface is curved inwards is called a concave mirror. | A spherical mirror whose reflecting surface is curved outwards is called a convex mirror. |
| A parallel beam of light falling on this mirror converges at a point after reflection. | A parallel beam of light falling on this mirror appears to diverge from a point after reflection. |
| It is also called a converging mirror. | It is also called a diverging mirror. |
| It has a real focus. | It has a virtual focus. |
| The magnification of a concave mirror can be greater, equal or less than 1. | The magnification of a convex mirror is always less than 1. |
| These mirrors are used as reflectors in projectors, light-house headlights, searchlights, etc. | These mirrors are used as rear-view mirrors in cars and motorcycles, as they enable the driver/rider to view the road and vehicles behind. |
