Why are objects in 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.

What kind of images do convex mirrors form?
virtual imagesupright imagesImages are lager than the objectimages are formed behind the mirror
Why do objects in rearview mirrors appear closer than they are?
The mirror is convexed so it sees a larger area. If you see a larger area in the same size mirror then it is reasonable to understand that things are smaller which corresponds to further away. So, you must mentally realize that they are closer.
What is important in concave and convex mirror?
In concave mirrors, the focal point, focal length, and magnification are important. Concave mirrors can form real or virtual images depending on the object's position relative to the mirror. In convex mirrors, the field of view and image size are important. Convex mirrors always produce virtual images that are smaller and upright compared to the object.
What happens as you move closer to a convex mirror?
As you move closer to a convex mirror, your image will appear smaller and more upright. The image will also move further away from the mirror.
What is the problem with using convex mirror as wing mirrors on cars?
The images in your mirror will be closer than they appear
Which mirror is used as rear view in vechicles?
It's a slightly convex mirror - so that images are magnified a little (making them seem closer than they are)
How do the images appear in a convex mirror?
Images in a convex mirror appear smaller, virtual, and upright. The reflected image is located behind the mirror and its size depends on the object's distance from the mirror.
Is a convex lens more like a convex mirror or a concave mirror in the way it produces images?
A convex lens is more like a concave mirror in the way it produces images. A convex lens converges light rays to form real or virtual images, much like how a concave mirror can do the same by reflecting light. Both convex lenses and concave mirrors can produce both real and virtual images depending on the object's position relative to the lens or mirror.
When viewed in a spherical mirror the image of a setting is a virtual image. The image lies 12cm behind the mirror .Is this mirror concave or convex?
The mirror in this case is a convex mirror, as virtual images are formed by convex mirrors.
What are the images formed by a convex mirror?
convex mirror always form virtual, erect image
What the difference between the virtual image created by a concave and plane and a convex mirror?
THough all are erect, in concave it will be enlarged in plane mirror of the same size as the object but in convex mirror it will be dimished
Why are rear view mirrors in automobiles made of convex mirrors?
Convex mirror is curved outward so that it reflects a wider viewing area. The images reflected in convex mirror appear smaller and closer.Convex mirrors are generally labeled with safety warning "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear", to warn the driver to be cautious while driving.
Can a convex form an image that is enlarged real and upright?
No, a convex mirror can only produce virtual images that are diminished and upright. The image formed by a convex mirror is always virtual and located behind the mirror.
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.
Does a convex mirror make the image upside down?
No, a convex mirror does not produce an upside-down image. Convex mirrors always produce virtual, upright, and diminished images of objects placed in front of them.
