Convex mirror is sometimes referred to as a diverging mirror. A ray diagram is a representation of the possible paths a light can take to get from one place to another. Plane mirrors can only produce virtual images. In a virtual image created by a mirror, light does not actually pass through the image location. Refraction happened when light rays bend as they pass through the lens resulting to a change in direction. Diverging lens which is thicker at the middle than at the edge converges light that passes through it
