Convex mirrors make things appear smaller as they produce virtual and diminished images. An example of where convex mirrors are used is in side-view mirrors in cars to provide a wider field of view for the driver.

How do you describe the image formal by a convex mirror?

The image formed by a convex mirror is virtual, upright, and smaller than the object. It appears to be located behind the mirror.


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.


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.


Can convex mirrors be uses as a shaving mirror?

No, this is because the image formed in convex mirror is smaller and the shape of the image is irregular. So if we use convex mirrors as a shaving mirror, there are chances of getting hurt whle shaving.


If light hits a mirror at an angle it reflects back at?

If light hits a mirror at an angle it reflects back at you but it will make the image look bigger or smaller (if the mirror is concave or convex). If it is a flat plane mirror the image is the same but if your holding something it will be on the opposite side


Which of the mirrors depicted above is a single convex mirror?

The second mirror from the left is a single convex mirror. The convex mirror has a reflective surface that curves outward, creating a wider field of view and making objects appear smaller than they are in reality.


What creates a smaller image that is right side up and smaller than what object?

A convex mirror.


Does a convex mirror curve inwards or outwards?

The convex mirror curves outwards while the concave mirror would curve inwards. The convex mirror traces light out making faraway objects bigger like in a telescope.


Where should you place an object on the principal axis in front of a convex mirror to get a virtual upright and smaller image?

To get a virtual upright and smaller image from a convex mirror, place the object in front of the mirror but between its focal point and the mirror. This will produce a virtual image on the same side as the object that is upright and smaller than the object.


Is there ever a position where an object will not have an image produced in a convex mirror?

This will depend entirely on the geometry of the convex mirror. Only if the mirror is a spherical shell will the answer be "no."


What does the image of an object look like in a convex mirror?

The image formed by a convex mirror is virtual, upright, and smaller than the actual object. It appears to be located behind the mirror and has a wider field of view compared to a plane mirror.


What image is formed by a convex mirror?

The image is always virtual,smaller,and erect at any distance in which the object is placed.
