spherical mirror
Ball-section reflecting surface
A spherical mirror is a curved reflective surface shaped like a section of a sphere.
Concave spherical mirrors curve inward and focus light to a point, used in telescopes and shaving mirrors.
Convex spherical mirrors curve outward and spread light, providing wide-angle views in vehicle side mirrors and security mirrors.
The spherical mirror distorted her reflection.
