Question

Assertion: Convex mirror is preferred for rearview mirror in vehicles.
Reason: The field view of a convex mirror is lesser than that of concave mirror.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Assertion is correct but reason is incorrect because convex mirror field view is large.

Answer 2

The Assertion is correct and the Reason is a wrong statement.

• A mirror with a bulged-out curved surface is called a convex mirror.
• The image formed by a convex mirror is always an erect image.
• The Convex mirror is used as a rearview mirror in vehicles.
• Because the field of view of the convex mirror is greater or wider (not lesser) due to its outward curved surface as compared to the concave mirror.
