Spherical Mirrors

Spherical mirrors are curved surfaces that reflect light, shaped like a part of a hollow sphere. There are two main types: concave mirrors, which curve inward and can magnify images, and convex mirrors, which curve outward and provide a wider field of view, making images smaller. These mirrors follow the principles of geometrical optics, where light travels in straight lines. They are commonly used in daily life, such as in car side mirrors and makeup mirrors, due to their ability to manipulate image size and clarity depending on their curvature.
