CONVEX MIRROR APPLICATIONS

1. Security Mirrors
-Is a convex mirror with a reflective surface that
curves outwards or bulges out towards the light
source. They contribute to heightened safety by
optimizing visibility, and minimizing accident
risks.

2. Traffic Safety Mirrors

-Is a convex mirror that is designed to improve
road safety at dangerous junctions, They improve
visibility at corners and blind spots for drivers

3. Fisheye Mirrors
-Fisheye Convex mirrors are reflective surface bulges
outwards toward the light source which results in a
distorted image but an expanded field of view.

4. Blind Spot Mirrors

-Convex mirror in blind spot mirrors improve the
driver's visibility, reducing blind spots for safe driving.

5. Blind Spot Mirrors

-Dome mirrors on ceilings use convex mirrors that
creates the illusion of space. It makes any room look
bigger or wider.

CONCAVE MIRROR APPLICATIONS
1. Astronomical Telescopes
Concave astronomical telescopes use concave mirrors to gather and focus
light. Reflecting and converging light to a focal point where an eyepiece or
camera is placed.

2. Solar Furnaces
Concave mirrors in solar furnace focus sunlight to create
intense heat for scientific and industrial purposes.

3. Ophthalmoscope
Concave mirrors in ophthalmoscope light up and reveal the
eye's inner structures for medical examination.

4. Head mirrors
Concave mirrors in a head mirror curve inward and are used by medical
professionals to focus light on areas during examinations, ensuring better
visibility in ophthalmology.

5. Satellite Dishes
Concave mirrors in satellite dishes are used for receiving or transmitting
signals with communication satellites. Enabling in transmission with
receiving communication signals.

I think that life would be merely incomplete and somewhat unsafe for the citizens.
Curved mirrors play a big role in lessening the dangers in our lives more than we
realize. They are responsible for Transportation, Security, Medication, Astronomy,
Dentistry, Optometry, Automobiles, etc. These are things that we overlook but
contribute a huge benefit to our daily lives. In terms of transportation, curved mirrors
can help us guide the things that we can’t see as we have a limit in our peripheral
vision. Curved mirrors help us in expanding our sights. In terms of security, this can
help us on roads that have blind spots to prevent accidents. In medication, we often
see our doctors use different kinds of mirrors such as concave mouth mirrors, etc. I
think that life would be insufficient and incomplete, Life would be so different and we
wouldn’t have the high-quality gadgets and things that we use in this generation and
the continuous evolution.
