A convex mirror or convex mirror is a curved mirror with a reflective surface on the outside of the arc. The concave surface was plastered with mercury.
2. Concave mirror or concave mirror is a curved mirror with a reflective surface on the inside of the arc. The concave surface is plastered with mercury from the picture. Point C is the center of the circle. Which is the center of curvature of the glass as well
R is the radius of the sphere, called the radius of curvature of the mirror.
P is the point in the center of the mirror surface, called the mirror polarity.

Reflection of light from a curved mirror
1. A convex mirror is a mirror in which the incident ray and reflected ray are on opposite sides of the center of curvature.
2. A concave mirror is a mirror in which the incident ray and reflected ray are on the same side of the center of curvature.
3. A convex mirror is a diffusing mirror. If the incident ray is parallel to the major axis The light rays will spread or diffuse. The parallel light rays reflected in the same direction as coming from the focus of the convex mirror.
4. A concave mirror is a convex mirror. If the incident ray is parallel to the major axis The reflected rays from the mirror converge to a point called the focal point.
