Q. Which mirror is used for magnifying mirrors?

Answer

Magnifying mirrors are actually concave mirrors. As it is a mirror, it means it has a reflecting surface. The idea is to understand how a concave mirror is able to magnify objects. Magnifying mirrors make use of the position of the object between center of curvature and focus or at focus to ensure magnification. The image produced would be greater in length than the original, and thus yield the desired magnification.
