a magnifying glass
Examples of planes are bathroom mirrors, windows, and floors. A concave mirror example is a makeup mirror, which magnifies the reflection. An example of a convex mirror is a security mirror, which gives a wider field of view.
No, diverging mirrors and convex mirrors are not the same thing. A diverging mirror is a concave mirror, while a convex mirror is a mirror that curves outward. Convex mirrors have a wider field of view compared to diverging mirrors.
Convex mirrors are commonly found in stores, parking lots, and driveways as security or safety mirrors to provide a wider field of view for drivers and pedestrians. They are also used as rear-view mirrors in vehicles to reduce blind spots. Another example is in decorative or cosmetic mirrors due to their ability to make spaces appear larger.
The two types of curved mirrors are concave and convex mirrors. Concave mirrors curve inward and can create both real and virtual images, while convex mirrors curve outward and only produce virtual images.
Convex mirrors are often used for side mirrors (if the mirror has a note saying "objects in mirror are closer than they appear," it's convex; it may be convex even without such a note).
