  • Concave mirrors have an inward reflecting surface, whereas convex mirrors have an outward reflecting surface.
  • When a beam of parallel rays is incident on a concave mirror, rays meet at focus after reflection. As we can see, the focus of the concave mirror lies in front of the mirror.
  • Centre of curvature is the centre of the sphere of which the concave mirror is the part. It also lies in front of the mirror.
