A Convex Mirror is a spherical mirror with its reflecting surface curved outward. It is also known as a diverging mirror, as it causes parallel rays of light to spread out after reflection, appearing to come from a virtual focal point behind the mirror.
Shape: Outward curved, spherical surface
Material: Glass with silver/aluminum reflective coating
Focal Length: Positive (virtual focus)
Mounting: Usually provided with a base or frame for easy lab setup
Durability: Scratch-resistant, polished surface
Used in ray optics experiments to study image formation by curved mirrors
Commonly used as rear-view mirrors in vehicles due to wide-angle view
Helps demonstrate image characteristics: always virtual, erect, and diminished
Suitable for CBSE/ICSE/State board physics practicals
