Mirror Concave

This Concave Mirror offers a captivating way to explore light reflection, magnification, and focal points. Crafted from high-quality glass, the mirror bends inward to focus light onto a single point, making it ideal for demonstrating how concave surfaces reflect and manipulate light. Often used in everyday objects such as telescopes, headlights, and makeup mirrors, this educational tool helps students visualise how optical technologies work. With clear measurements and consistent refle...
