Answer:

The difference between mirror and lens lies in how light reflects when falls over their surface. When light interacts with any surface, mainly two things happen; Reflection and Refraction. The main difference between mirror and lens is that image forms by reflection, as the light falls on a mirror. In lens, the image is formed by refraction.

Answer:

hi

Step-by-step explanation:

The lens is a material made of glass or plastic bounded by two surfaces. ... A mirror is a reflector that is shiny from one side and reflects the light rays coming from the object to make it appear as an image to the other side. The lens is of two types viz: Concave lens and convex lens.

have a nice day
