they are called concave mirror
...
mirrors whose center bulges out are called convex, and can reflect a wider view than a flat mirrored surface, but the objects are "larger than they appear", and also "closer than they appear." These are most often seen on right hand mirrors on vehicles, to help minimise blind spots.
mirrors whose center is recessed are called concave (remember the term by thinking of a shallow cave.) Depending upon how close you are to the mirror's focal point, objects appear larger than they really are, or upside down. These are often seen in makeup mirrors so you get a clearer view of your face when shaving or applying makeup.
Combinations of both convex and concave mirrors are seen in funhouses of amusement parks, to make the viewer look skinnier and taller, shorter and fatter, or even upside down.

∙ 13y agoA concave mirror, or converging mirror, has a reflecting surface that bulges inward.
A convex mirror, or diverging mirror, has a reflecting surface that bulges outward.

∙ 13y agoA mirror that has no curvature is said to be flat. One that curves in (making objects "larger") is said to be concave, and one that curves out (making objects "smaller") is said to be convex. Use the link below to learn more and see some enlightening diagrams.

What molecular attraction causes surface of the water to curve inside a glass?
The force of adhesion between water and glass molecules is greater than the force of cohesion between two water molecules.This causes the surface of the water to be curved. This curved surface is called a meniscus.
Can a plane mirror be called a spherical mirror?
No. The two terms are mutually exclusive; something cannot be both flat and curved at the same time.
Name two types of curved mirrors?
Two types of curved mirrors are: concave and convex.
What are spherical mirrors?
The most curved mirrors are spherical mirrors. The centre of curved surface is called center of curvature. There are two kinds of spherical mirrors. Concave and convex mirror.
What two types of lines are there?
straight and curved
What type of mirror produces only diverging rays?
The convex mirrors produces the diverging rays. I hope this would be enough.
A convex mirror is a mirror that curves outward A concave mirror is a mirror that cruves inward Which statement is best supported by the diagram?
the diagram is not given. In ward and out ward are relative terms. So it would be confusing at all times. Now we have a portion of a sphere made up of glass. Now we have two sides one is curved in and other one is out. If we coat mercury on the curved in side then we get CONVEX mirror. If we coat mercury on curved out side, then we have CONCAVE mirror.
What are the two types of mirror?
Opaque and transparent
