The Magic of Curved Mirrors

Curved mirrors literally bend reality, and it's all about their shape. A concave mirror,

the one that curves inward like the inside of a spoon, is a converging mirror.

It focuses light to a single point. Get close, and it magnifies you.

Move further away, and it can flip your reflection completely upside down.

Then you have the convex mirror, which bulges out like a security mirror.

It’s a diverging mirror, spreading light out. This is why it always

shows a smaller, upright image but gives you a super wide field of view. It's all just a

trick of light.
