A concave mirror curves inward, like the inside of a spoon. It converges parallel light rays to a focal point in front of the mirror. Concave mirrors can form real or virtual images, depending on the object's position.
A convex mirror curves outward, like the back of a spoon. It diverges parallel light rays, making them appear to originate from a focal point behind the mirror. Convex mirrors always form virtual, upright, and diminished images.
