does anyone have any uses for convex mirrors???

There is a question that I was hoping this page would answer that it did not. If you enlarge something greatly using a curved mirror, does the image not become darker than the original as the same quantity of photons is spread over a greater surface area? Do the colors become more muted or pale (desaturated)? — Preceding

Very useful article.....i liked it Neer kakade ( talk) 15:34, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
I am going to remake the pics on this article, just an FYI. Also this article needs some love in the form of a copy edit and references.-- Cronholm 144 14:07, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
My dad told me to find out why a spoon gives an upsidedown reflection, I know the answer is on this page some where but I dont understand it. SzilardII 16:10, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
The spoon acts as a concave mirror, so it can actually reflect a real inverted image and a right side up non-real image, depending on the position of the reflected object. Go the the reference desk next time.-- Cronholm 144 22:57, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
I must say that I dislike the new images. While they are pretty with their gradient-shaded mirrors, they have some flaws:

Can you make a new section about concave and convex lens, please? because the rules differ with them i think... and i want to know if i've got the concepts right. KdN+91 ( talk) 00:58, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
Spherical reflector redirects to this article (Curved mirror). This is incorrect since not all spherical reflectors are mirrors (for example the Arecibo Radio Telescope [1]). Spherical reflectors, both mirror and non-mirror, have specific applications [2] [3]. The redirect should be taken down and that article expanded. This would be a counterpart article to Parabolic reflector. Fountains of Bryn Mawr ( talk) 22:38, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
Could a contributor to this article (who is more knowledgeable in this subject matter than I) please check out Gaussian formula and merge any relevant content into this one, then redirect it appropriately? Thanks, Hermione 1980 23:29, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
I need help. I am looking for a formula to calculate Field of View of a convex mirror with known focal length/radius of curvature. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yogdeepdesai ( talk • contribs) 07:09, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
I do realize spherical mirrors are very common in telescopes, but mirror telescopes aren't everyday objects yet. I suppose shaving mirrors and automotive mirrors would be spherical too, but again not sure about how many of those there are in the world. Most people own quite a few flashlights though, and those all have parabolic mirrors. Does anyone have any hard data on how many car mirrors that are spherical there are, as compared to flashlights with parabolic reflectors? -- User:Cimon Avaro
I noticed that people have been expressing their dissatisfaction with the images in the article, mainly because of the size, shape and curvature of the mirrors illustrated. I did a little digging on Commons and found the following images for convex mirrors, which look okay:
If I can find corresponding ones for convex mirrors and no one objects, I'll replace the ones in the article with these. --- — Preceding signed comment added by
