Answer 2

A plane mirror is not used for the purpose of a rearview mirror for vehicles because of the following reasons:

• A plane mirror does not have a wider field of view. Due to this reason, the driver is unable to view a much larger area of the traffic behind him.

• A convex mirror is used for the rearview mirror in vehicles as it always forms virtual, erect and diminished images irrespective of the distance of the object.

• It has a wider field of view.
