Spherical mirrors can be either concave or convex depending on whether the surface is bent inwards or bulges outwards. They are constructed from glass with one surface carved into a spherical shape for reflection. Spherical mirrors are used in various applications such as shaving, dentistry, vehicle headlights, solar energy collection, and reflecting telescopes. Concave mirrors reflect and focus light rays at a focal point, forming different image types depending on the object distance. Convex mirrors diverge light rays and always produce a virtual, upright, and diminished image regardless of object distance. They are commonly used as vehicle side mirrors and on road curves to increase visibility.
