The ones that are, have a warning message written on them. "Objects in the mirror may appear to be further away", or words to that effect.
This is done to increase the field of view to cover blind spots, but the downside is distortion in size.
On many vehicles the passenger side view mirror is convex.
Concave mirrors are used in telescopes. Convex mirrors are used as side-view mirrors in cars.
Magnifying mirrors, side mirrors on cars and trucks, certain securuty mirrors.
Convex mirrors
Convex mirrors make things appear smaller as they produce virtual and diminished images. An example of where convex mirrors are used is in side-view mirrors in cars to provide a wider field of view for the driver.
Magnifying mirrors, side mirrors on cars and trucks, certain securuty mirrors.
Convex mirrors used as side mirrors in cars provide a wider field of view, allowing drivers to see more of their surroundings. This helps to reduce blind spots and improve overall safety while driving. Concave mirrors would distort the image and plane mirrors would not provide the same wide-angle view.
Convex mirrors are often used for side mirrors (if the mirror has a note saying "objects in mirror are closer than they appear," it's convex; it may be convex even without such a note).
Curved mirrors are mirrors that have a spherical side. example - concave and convex.
They use convex mirrors to give a wider view.
To give a wider angle of view.
