Question

Which mirror is used in rear view mirror of vehicles? Why plane mirror is not used?

Answer 1

convex mirror. plane mirror is not used because it provides a view of only small portion of road and we cant see all the cars behind us

Answer 2

Explanation:

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.
