- Concave mirror: The mirrors curved inside on the reflecting side are called concave mirrors.
- These mirrors produce real as well as virtual images, inverted and erect, and magnified as well as the diminished image of the object.
- These are used in reflecting telescopes, shaving mirrors, and ophthalmoscopes. It is also used as a reflector for the headlights of a vehicle and searchlights.
- Convex mirror: It is an outward curved mirror that produces a diminished image.
- Convex mirrors either diverge a parallel beam of light into all directions or gather light from all directions and produce a parallel beam out of it.
EXPLANATION:
- In the case of the concave mirror, when the object is between the focus and the pole, the image formed is virtual, erect, and enlarged. That's why a concave mirror is used as a shaving glass. So option 2 is correct.
