Fill in the Blanks Fill in the Blanks: Exploring Concave and Convex MirrorsOnline version Test your knowledge of concave and convex mirrors with this engaging fill-in-the-blanks game! by sarah reyes 1 applications view convex light point Concave mirrors field focal curved reflect magnification and are two types of mirrors that in different ways . A concave mirror is curved inward , resembling a bowl , and it converges light rays to a . This property makes concave mirrors useful in such as shaving mirrors , makeup mirrors , and telescopes , where is desired . On the other hand , a convex mirror is curved outward , causing light rays to diverge . This results in a wider of , making convex mirrors ideal for use in vehicle side mirrors and security applications . Both types of mirrors follow the laws of reflection , where the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection . Understanding the differences between concave and convex mirrors is essential for their effective use in various optical devices and everyday applications .
