Detailed explanation-1: -A spherical mirror whose reflecting surface is curved inwards is called as a concave mirror whereas a spherical mirror whose reflecting surface is curved outwards is called as a convex mirror .
Detailed explanation-2: -If the reflecting surface is curved outwards it is a convex mirror.
Detailed explanation-3: -An object placed closer to the concave mirror than the focal point always produces an upright, enlarged, and virtual image. An object placed beyond the focal point always produces an inverted, real image. A mirror that curves outward is referred to as a convex mirror.
Detailed explanation-4: -A convex mirror or diverging mirror is a curved mirror in which the reflective surface bulges towards the light source. Convex mirrors reflect light outwards, therefore they are not used to focus light.
