Question

Name a mirror that can give an erect and enlarged image of an object.
Why do we prefer a convex mirror as a rear-view mirror in vehicles?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. Solution : Concave mirror forms an erect, virtual and enlarged image when the object is between focus and pole of mirror.
2. 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
