How does the shape of the mirrors change the angle of incidence and reflection?

[Imagine the position of the normal] A flat mirror has a smooth surface and light is reflected by specular reflection. This means that parallel light rays are reflected in parallel. Concave mirrors show different types of image depending on the distance between the object and the mirror. Convex mirrors always form a virtual image because the focus and the center of curvature are both imaginary points inside the mirror. In a convex mirror, the image is always virtual, smaller, and upright. For both concave and convex mirrors, the normal differs with each spot on the mirror. In all three circumstances, incident, reflection and flat mirrors have congruent incident and reflected rays. Describe the difference between convergent and divergent light rays. Convergent light rays relate to concave mirrors and eventually converge at a point. Divergent light rays are rays that reflect off of a convex mirror and eventually diverge into different directions, never meeting a one single point like con
