Answer 2

(b) Concave in nature is not a characteristic of a rear-view mirror in a car.

Explanation:

• The flat mirror that is used in vehicles is called as rear-view mirror.
• The car must have a wider field of view in the rear-view mirror so that the driver can see the space on the road.
• The convex lens are used in the rear-view mirror, so that the object will be closer than they appear and this avoids accidents.
• The convex lens has virtual and erect image.
• The concave mirror forms the real and magnified image, hence the rear-view mirror cannot use concave mirror.
