Convex and concave mirrors are examples of?
Spherical mirrors
Mirrors with a reflecting surface forming part of a hollow sphere are called spherical mirrors. A concave mirror curves inwards (inner spoon surface) and a convex mirror curves outwards (outer spoon surface).
Plane mirrors are flat, while “inverted” and “erect” describe image orientation, not mirror type. So convex and concave mirrors are examples of spherical mirrors.
