It is because image formed by an convex mirror is always virtual, erect and smaller than the object. They are more helpful than the plane mirror because they give a wider view.
The security mirrors.
You mean rear view mirrors? No chance of getting real image using only a convex mirror.
They use convex mirrors to give a wider view.
convex mirrors are bent outward,hence can provide the full view of the traffic behind the car and are preferred to concave and plane ones
Convex gives you the widest "field of view" (so someone does not have to be right behind you in order for you to see them).
Convex mirrors
The Rear view mirrors are convex The Headlights are concave
Rear view mirrors in vehicles and are used hairpin bends on mountains (hill).
The security mirrors.
To give a wider angle of view.
Concave mirrors are used in telescopes. Convex mirrors are used as side-view mirrors in cars.
Yes. In convex mirrors, the image is always erect and diminished, at whatever distance the object may be in front of the mirror. The convex mirror has a wide field of view and hence is used as a rear view( or driving) mirror in vehicles, to view the traffic behind.
You mean rear view mirrors? No chance of getting real image using only a convex mirror.
this is because convex surfaces , being curved outside, have a wider field area. Car rear view mirrors are also a good example of this. In these, convex mirrors are used. This is because, convex mirrors, being curved outside, have a wider field area and show the image of a larger area
Doctors use concave mirrors, in motor cars convex mirrors as rear view mirrors and in case of solar cookers concave mirrors to concentrate solar radiations.
Rear View MirrorThe kind of mirror used in the rear-view mirror must be convex mirrors, because it creates smaller, yet still upright images. Concave mirrors would create an inverted image and the cars you see are not upside down. Convex mirrors make everything smaller so this allows the driver to see a greater range of things behind him.
