Mirrors Convex OR Concave (O.T.)

A Mirror is a reflective surface that bounces off light, producing either a real image or a virtual image. In physics lab, generally we are  using spherical mirrors (either in 2” or 3” diameter) these mirrors are having curved surfaces that are painted on one of the sides
There are two types of mirrors – Concave & Convex Mirror. Any focal length from 10cm to 50cm is available.

Convex Mirror If the cut part of the hollow sphere is  painted from the inside, then its outer 
surface becomes the reflecting surface.  This kind of mirror is known as a convex  mirror

Concave Mirror If a hollow sphere is cut into parts and the  other surface of the cut part is painted, 
then it becomes a mirror with its inner  surface as the reflecting surface. This type  of mirror is known as a concave mirror.
