Solution

Dear Student

A spherical mirror is a mirror whose reflecting surface is curved like concave and convex mirrors.
Spherical mirrors are of two types: (1) Concave mirror (2) Convex mirror.

A concave mirror can form real image of an object. The nature of the image depends on the distance of the object from the concave mirror.
