convex mirror can form image of object speared over a large area . so these helps the drivers to see the traffic behind them.
Which lens is used in street lights? Convex mirrors are used as reflectors in street lights because they are able to spread the light over a wide area.
Concave mirrors are used in telescopes. Convex mirrors are used as side-view mirrors in cars.
Convex mirrors are used as reflectors in street lights because they provide a wide field of view, allowing light to be distributed over a larger area. Their curved shape helps to direct and spread the light more effectively, reducing shadows and enhancing visibility for drivers and pedestrians. Additionally, convex mirrors can minimize glare, making them safer for nighttime use. This combination of features makes them ideal for illuminating streets and public spaces.
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).

Convex mirrors diverge light rays, making objects appear smaller and upright. They have a wider field of view compared to flat or concave mirrors. Convex mirrors are commonly used in rear-view car mirrors to provide a wider perspective of the surroundings.
To give a wider angle of view.
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.
Concave mirrors are used in reflecting telescopes, makeup mirrors, and headlights to focus light rays. Convex mirrors are used in security mirrors, wide-angle rearview mirrors in cars, and magnifying glasses to provide a wider field of view or to reduce image distortion.
Not sure about mirrors but convex and concave lenses are used to treat conditions such as long/short sightedness.
Concave mirrors are used to focus light, to produce a parallel beam in car headlights, and so you can have a close look while shaving. Convex mirrors are used for making telescopes, viewfinders in vehicles, and used in supermarkets or stores as surveillance as it gives a wider view.
