A concave mirror is know as converging. It converges the incident rays after reflection
If an object is placed within focal length of a concave mirror it is magnified virtual image (meaning it makes the image bigger)
A convex mirror is know as diverging. It diverges meaning that it spreads out the incident rays after reflection
convex images make the objects shown virtually and smaller in size.
(virtual because they are not real, they get bigger and smaller etc.)
How they are drawn
Examples of concave mirror - shaving & makeup mirror, dentist mirror
Examples of convex mirrors - parking lot mirrors, street mirrors, shops
When it comes to lenses it is the opposite meaning that a concave lens will diverge and a convex lens with converge
