Concave mirrors

Concave mirrors are curved mirrors that bulge inward, resembling a bowl. They can focus light to a single point, making them useful in various applications. For instance, they are used in shaving mirrors to provide magnified images and in telescopes to gather light from distant stars. When an object is placed close to a concave mirror, it produces a larger, upright image. If the object is farther away, the mirror can create a smaller, inverted image. Their unique shape allows them to concentrate light and create clear reflections, making them valuable in both everyday and scientific contexts.
