The field of view will be too small.
because the mirror used is concave mirror.
usualy concave mirror.
Concave Mirrors
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.
A concave mirror is commonly used in solar energy systems to concentrate sunlight onto a smaller surface area, such as in solar cookers or solar power plants. It is also used in reflecting telescopes to collect and focus light for astronomical observations.
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.
Yes!!ofcourse the concave mirrors are used in the rear mirrors of cars. thats why it is written in most the objects in the mirrors are closer than they appear. moreover the work of concave mirror is that the light rays which are coming in parallel are concentrated to the same parallel incident ray but this line are such thrown back away that they concentrate a point and intersect and is called for "focus".this helps in zooming object.
Concave mirror would have the surface curved out get coated with mercury hence curved in surface would reflect the rays fallen on. But convex mirror would have the surface curved in get coated with mercury hence curved out surface would reflect the rays fallen on. Concave mirror would have both converging and diverging ability. When light coming from an object placed at a distance higher than its focal length right from the pole of the mirror, converging takes place. But the object lies in between pole and the focus diverging action. But in convex mirror irrespective of the placement of the object only diverging phenomenon. Concave mirror used as shaving mirror and dentists too use them Convex mirror is used as rear view mirror in case of vehicles near by the driver.
Doctors use concave mirrors, in motor cars convex mirrors as rear view mirrors and in case of solar cookers concave mirrors to concentrate solar radiations.
Concave mirrors converge light rays to a focal point, making them useful for reflecting light to create images. Convex mirrors diverge light rays, making them useful for applications like rear-view mirrors where a wide field of view is needed.
Concave lenses are used in glasses for people who are near-sighted. Convex lenses are used in glasses for people who are far-sighted.
Actually it is a convex mirror, it bulges out in the center. This increases the field of view from a normal flat mirror so that you can see more area from side to side. So that you can see to the rear and to the side into the blind spot. concave is shaped like the inside of a bowl. Convex is shaped like the outside of a bowl or dome. The hint is to think "cave" inside a cave or bowl so conCAVE
