A spherical mirror is a mirror that has the shape of a piece cut out of a spherical surface. One side of this mirror is silver coated, and the reflection of light occurs at the other side.
There are two types of spherical mirrors:
- Concave and
- Convex
Concave Mirrors:
A spherical mirror, in which the reflection of light occurs at its concave surface, is called a concave mirror.
These mirrors magnify the object placed close to them. The most commonly used examples of concave mirrors are shaving mirrors and makeup mirrors.
Convex Mirrors:
A spherical mirror, in which the reflection of light occurs at its convex surface, is called a convex mirror.
The image formed by these mirrors is smaller than the object. The most commonly used examples of convex mirrors are the passenger side wing mirrors of cars.
