curved mirror
Non-flat reflecting surface
A curved mirror is a mirror with a surface that bends inward or outward rather than lying flat.
Concave mirrors curve inward and can magnify or focus light; convex mirrors curve outward and provide a wider field of view.
The curved mirror in the funhouse stretched my reflection grotesquely.
Curved mirrors appear in telescopes, car side mirrors, and makeup mirrors.
