Question

Car rear view mirrors carry a warning message that "objects in the rear view mirrors are closer than they appear'. Why do you think is so? ​

Answer 1

The mirrors used in cars are convex mirrors. Convex mirrors form erect and smaller images of the objects. This does not give us the exact idea how far the vehicle is from us. Thus, to avoid accidents, car view mirrors carry a warning message that objects in the rear view mirror are closer than they appear.
