Is convex and concave mirrors also known as spherical mirrors?
Yes convex and concave mirrors are also known as spherical mirrors. If mercury coating is made on the convex side of the spherical then mirror is known as concave mirror. If mercury coating is made on the concave side the convex portion would reflect the light fallen so it is named as convex mirror. Actual just a small part of the sphere is taken out and this would act as the spherical mirror.
What effects does light have on concave and convex mirrors?
Light has little or no effect on a mirror. The mirrors follow the rule: "the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection". Concave mirrors concentrate light to a point and convex spread it out.
