Question

Name the two types of spherical mirrors. What type of mirror is represented by the:

1. back side of a shining steel spoon?
2. front side of a shining steel spoon?

Answer 1

There are 2 types of spherical mirrors; convex mirror and concave mirror.

1. The back side of the spoon is a convex surface because it has a curved outward-reflecting surface. As a result, it's known as a Convex Mirror.
2. The spoon’s front side has an inward-reflecting curve, making it a concave surface.
