Detailed Solution

Convex mirror bulges outside and concave mirror bulges inwards.
The major difference between concave and convex mirrors is their shape. A concave mirror is a spherical mirror with an inwardly curved reflection surface, whereas a convex mirror is a spherical mirror with an outwardly bulged reflecting surface.
Other differences are; in convex mirrors, diminished images form while enlarged images form in concave mirrors. In addition, the focal length is positive for a convex mirror and negative for a concave mirror. Finally, convex mirrors can only form virtual images, while concave mirrors can form real and virtual images.
