Why do you prefer convex mirror as a real veiw mirror in the vehicles?

It gives an erect image and as the image is dimished it would cover a wide range. Though the image is virtual it could be seen by human eyes. Because of all these we use convex mirror as a rear view mirror in vehicles.

Can a convex mirror produce real images?
Yes, but it can be hard to arrange. You need to set up a real image as a virtual object, and make the convex mirror image that. If the rays converge strongly enough, they will still converge after reflecting off the convex mirror.
Differentiate between concave and convex mirror?
The outer curved part is coated with mercury as the inner would reflect light in case of concave mirror. Whereas the inner is coated as to make the outer to act as reflector in case of convex mirror. Concave mirror can give both real and virtual images for a real object depending on the location of object. But convex on the other hand can give only virtual image with a real object irrespective of the position of the object. Next, concave mirror can be used as shaving mirror. Also used to converge the parallel beam of light. Convex mirror is best used as rear view mirror in case of vehicles.
Does a Convex mirror form a virtual or real image?
A virtual image.
When does a convex mirror form real image?
never, image is virtual.
How can you distinguish between a plane concave and a convex mirror without touching them?
the image in the concave mirror will be real and inverted

Why can't a convex mirror create a real image?
Because the focal point of the convex mirror will always be at a 'virtual' place. Convex mirrors focus the image at a definite point.
Does a Convex mirror form a virtual or real image?
A virtual image.
When does a convex mirror form real image?
never, image is virtual.
Which does not form a real image?
(1)A plane mirror (2)A convex mirror (3)A concave lens
Does not form a real image?
(1)A plane mirror (2)A convex mirror (3)A concave lens
How can you distinguish between a plane concave and a convex mirror without touching them?
the image in the concave mirror will be real and inverted
How can you distinguish between a plane mirror concave mirror and a convex mirror by merely looking at the mirror?
If our image is real and inverted and smaller than the object ,then it is a concave mirror; if the image is virtual and erect and larger than the object,then it is a convex mirror; if the image is of the same size as of the object,it is a plane mirror. that is how we can distinguish or identify which of the given mirrors are what. BUT if the angle is very small you cannot tell Plane is flat, convex it curves outwards and concave it curves inwards.
Explain the difference between the concave mirror and convex mirror?
A convex mirror bulges out. A concave mirror curves inward.For a convex mirror, light rays are reflected to meet at a point, while, for a concave mirror, light rays seem to be reflected from a point. If the incident rays were paraxial, the reflected rays are reflected to meet at, or appear to be reflected to a point referred to as the focal point of the lens. For a convex mirror, the focal point is real, while, that of a concave lens is virtual.
Which lens does not form a real image?
concave lens does not form a rel image and convex MIRROR does not form a real image
What types of image can concave mirrors from?
A concave mirror can show both vitual and real images, a plane mirror can show virtual and so can a convex mirror. 0.0
