Please give me some examples and the applications of Concave and Convex Mirrors.
Please included some pictures.
Thank you

Dear navig75-ga;

Thank you for allowing me to answer your interesting question.

?Concave mirrors bend inward like a cave.  These mirrors reflect light
rays inward towards a focal point.  Images will appear upside down
from far away, but very close to the mirror, they will appear right
side up and very large.  In contrast, concave lenses reflect light
rays outwards.  The image through a concave lens will always be right
side up. Convex mirrors curve outwards and reflect light rays away
from the center.  Images will appear right side up and smaller than
the actual object.?

CONCAVE MIRRORS are often used as shaving mirrors because the
reflected object is magnified. They are also used as reflectors in
flashlights and automobile headlights, as medical examination
instruments (e.g., by dentists) and they are also used in some complex
telescopes.

?A Cassegrain telescope is a wide-angle reflecting telescope with a
concave mirror that receives light and focuses an image.?

?A Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope (SCT) is a wide-angle reflecting
telescope with a correcting lens that minimizes spherical aberration
and a concave mirror that receives light and focuses an image.?

CONVEX MIRRORS are commonly used as wide-angle security mirrors in
department stores, as reflectors in street lights and as rear view
mirrors by drivers in vehicles. Convex mirrors tend to show objects
less than their actual size relevant to perceptual distance and other
objects around them ? thus the well-known phrase ?objects in your
mirror may be closer than they appear?.
