to see what is behind you
Convex mirrors
Rear view mirrors are installed in the majority of motorized vehicles. Rear view mirrors are on vehicles to be able to see behind the user while driving either backing up, or changing lanes.
Yes Formula one race cars have rear view mirrors. Like normal road cars F1 race cars too have rear view mirrors. They have 2 rear view mirrors unlike a road car that has 3 mirrors in total.
Mirrors are often slightly curved (convex) to provide a wider field of view. The curvature helps to focus light rays, reducing distortion and providing a more accurate reflection. This design is commonly used in rear-view mirrors to enhance visibility and reduce blind spots.
Rear view mirrors in vehicles and are used hairpin bends on mountains (hill).
If light didn't reflect off objects, you wouldn't be able to see them. Mirrors are used as coherent reflectors of received light. Mirrors can be used in periscopes to see around corners, or just on their own to see what one looks like.

Convex mirrors are commonly found in stores, parking lots, and driveways as security or safety mirrors to provide a wider field of view for drivers and pedestrians. They are also used as rear-view mirrors in vehicles to reduce blind spots. Another example is in decorative or cosmetic mirrors due to their ability to make spaces appear larger.
Light reflection is used in everyday situations in mirrors, sunglasses, and rear-view car mirrors to see our reflections or objects behind us. Reflective materials like road signs and safety vests help increase visibility and safety for pedestrians and drivers. Additionally, fiber optic cables use reflection to transmit light signals for communication purposes.
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.
