A concave mirror is a type of mirror that is:
- Curved inward, like a bowl
- Reflective on the inner surface
- Thinner at the edges than at the center
- Used to converge light rays and form images
- Characterized by a focal point, where the image is formed
- Able to produce real or virtual images, depending on the object's distance
- Used in telescopes, and other optical instruments
Concave mirrors are also known as converging mirrors, since they converge light rays to a single point. They are used in various applications, including astronomy, optics, and lighting
