Applications Of Reflection Of Light
When a light ray (termed as the incident ray) hits a surface and bounces back (forms a reflected ray), the process of reflection of light has taken place.
Sign Convention for Mirrors
A mirror is made of glass that is coated with a metal amalgam on one side due to which the light ray incident on the surface undergoes reflection and not refraction.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

When a curved surface is painted outside and the inside part is kept for reflecting, then it is called concave mirror. It is also called a converging mirror.

When a curved surface is painted from the inside and outside part is kept for reflecting, then it is called convex mirror. It is also calleda diverging mirror.

Image formation in concave mirror can be given as:

Image formation by convex mirrors:

  Glencoe Physical Science 2012 Student Edition (Glencoe Science) (McGraw-Hill Education), Chapter 13.1, Problem 1R , additional homework tip 2

Conclusion:

Hence, the image formation of concave mirror and convex mirror can be done as shown in the diagrams.
