Answer 2

If a concave mirror is used as a rearview mirror of a vehicle as a concave mirror produces the completely inverted image of the real image to be produced.

Detailed answer

When we use a concave mirror the image of the distant object gets inverted so it is not physically possible to use them.

• The word inverted means that For example when we use the concave mirror as a rearview mirror in our car the vehicle behind us will look upside down so it may confuse us and make the mirror useless.
• The other problem associated with using a concave mirror is that it would make the image look magnified so it would be difficult to understand while driving.
• The field of view gets decreased as the image is magnified only less image can be obtained on the mirror.
