Wing mirror is convex or concave?
The wing mirror or side mirror of a car is convex. It curves out to be able to see with a wider angle.
Where would you find a convex mirror?
in a car
Is car headlight mirror concave or convex?
concave
What are the disadvantages of convex mirror?
Convex mirrors reflect images in a distorted shape due to their convex shape. It can be difficult to determine the actual placement of objects.Since versions of convex mirrors are found in many vehicles, driver's misjudgment of speed and miscalculation of distances can be a direct result of the curvature of the mirror within the car.
What are the uses of convex and concave mirrors?
A convex mirror is used for:- A spotlight..... the light in right in the middle and the convex mirror is behind it so the light that shines back ward's hits the mirror and reflect's back and bends into a focal point. A concave mirror is used for:- Dentist mirror.... to magnify a potion's teeth. They are also used in car light's but is very hard to explain. The first answer above relates to a concave mirror.

How the convex mirror work in car headlights?

How does convex mirrors affect light?
A convex mirror will always create a virtual image. It will also have a negative magnification. The passenger side mirror in every car is slightly convex. [The one with "Objects in Mirror are closer than they appear"] Also, anti-theft mirrors in convenience stores have these properties.
Wing mirror of a car is which type of mirror?
convex: to help the driver see areas behind and to the sides of the vehicle,which is in his/her blind spot.
Why are objects in a car mirror closer than they appear?
There is a plane mirror on the driver's side and a convex mirror on the passenger's side. The reason only the passenger mirror is convex is because you are farther away from it. The angular view provided by farther mirror of the same physical size produces a similarly smaller reflected field of view. The convex mirror provides a larger field of view- one that should be comparable to the closer drivers mirror.
