Question

Convex mirror is used as looking glass in vehicles give reasons

Answer 1

Answer:

We prefer a convex mirror as a rear-view mirror in vehicles because it gives a wider field of view, which allows the driver to see most of the traffic behind him. Convex mirrors always form a virtual, erect, and diminished image of the objects placed in front of it.

Explanation:

• The image produced by a convex mirror is always virtual and located behind the mirror.
• When the object is far away from the mirror, the image is upright and located at the focal point.
• As the object approaches the mirror, the image also approaches the mirror and grows until its height equals that of the object.
• The image formed by convex mirrors are smaller than the object but gets larger as they approach the mirror.
