Convex mirrors are also curved mirrors, but the silvered surface bulges outward instead of inward, as with the concave spherical mirror. As with all mirrors, the angle of incidence of a ray of light is equal to the angle of reflection with respect to a normal on the surface. On a curved surface the normal changes with the curvature. Therefore, the light rays will diverge from the object. If the rays of light are extrapolated back to the point where they converge, this will be the point where the image is formed. For reflections off a convex mirror, the image is virtual and upright. Use of Convex Mirrors: Convex mirrors are often used in car wing-mirrors because they have a greater field of view than a similar plane mirror. However the greater field of view is at the expense of making objects seem further away than they are in reality. Hence the expression seen etched on to the mirrors, 'Objects in Mirror are Closer than they Appear'. Concave mirrors are also used as security mirrors as they enable the viewer to see over a greater region of space another use for this mirror is used in making sunglasses and telescopes. bet you didn't know that did u ???

Which mirror is used in solar cooker Concave or convex mirror or concave lens or convex lens?
A concave mirror is used in a solar cooker to concentrate sunlight onto a central point, where the cooking vessel is placed. This focusing of sunlight helps to increase the temperature inside the solar cooker for cooking food.

What mirror is makeup mirror concave convex or plane mirror?
A makeup mirror is typically a convex mirror. Convex mirrors curve outwards and have a reflective surface that bulges outward, allowing for a wider field of view and making objects appear smaller and brighter. This type of mirror is commonly used in makeup mirrors to provide a magnified reflection for easier application of makeup.

Why is a convex mirror used as a driver's mirror?
A convex mirror is used as the wing mirror on a vehicle, not as the internal rear view mirror. The advantage of the convex mirror is that it gives a wider field of view, but it must be used with caution, because it distorts distances, making it hard to judge how near another object is.
Where a convex mirror is used?
In cars

Why is convex mirror used as vigilance mirrrors in departmental stores?
Convex mirrors are used as vigilance mirrors in departmental stores because they provide a wide field of view, allowing staff to monitor a larger area without having to physically move around. The convex shape of the mirror also helps to eliminate blind spots and provides a distorted, but comprehensive view of the surroundings, making it easier to detect any suspicious activity or theft.
