\t1.A concave mirror is defined as the mirror in which the light is reflected in an inward direction. The light reflected by the concave mirror is inwardly curved.On the other hand, a convex mirror is defined as the mirror in which the light is reflected outwardly. The reflecting surface is outwardly curved.2.A concave mirror is also called as a converging mirror.A convex mirror is also called as the diverging mirror.3.The light that falls on the mirror converges at a particular point after reflection.The light which falls on the mirror diverges from a particular point after reflection.4.The concave mirror has a real focus.A convex mirror has a virtual focus.5.The extent to which a concave mirror can be magnified is greater, equal to, or less than one.The convex mirror can only be magnified to the extent that it is less than one.6.Concave mirrors are used in projectors, lighthouses, etc., as reflectors.Convex mirrors are used as rearview mirrors in cars and other vehicles. These mirrors help the drivers to have a clear view of the vehicles behind them.7.Concave mirrors are round/ hollow as the interior of a circle.Convex mirrors are round/ curved as the exterior of the circle.8.The focus of concave mirrors lies in front of the mirror. The focus point is positive.The focus of the convex mirror is beyond the mirror. The focal point is negative.9.The image formed is inverted, enlarged, and real.The image formed is erect, diminished, and virtual.10.The images formed by concave mirrors are reflected on the screen.Convex mirror forms an image that is not reflected on the screen.11.The image in a concave mirror is magnified.On the other hand, the image in a convex mirror is diminished.\t
