Is a passenger's side of a mirror concave or convex?

The passenger's side mirror of a car is usually convex. This helps to provide a wider field of view and reduce blind spots.


Explain the difference between the concave mirror and convex mirror?

A convex mirror bulges out. A concave mirror curves inward.For a convex mirror, light rays are reflected to meet at a point, while, for a concave mirror, light rays seem to be reflected from a point. If the incident rays were paraxial, the reflected rays are reflected to meet at, or appear to be reflected to a point referred to as the focal point of the lens. For a convex mirror, the focal point is real, while, that of a concave lens is virtual.


What is a mirror that curves outward?

A convex mirror curves outward, causing light rays to diverge. This type of mirror is often used in security mirrors, car side-view mirrors, and as a safety feature in public spaces to provide a wider field of view.


What are the uses of convex and concave mirrors?

A convex mirror is used for:- A spotlight..... the light in right in the middle and the convex mirror is behind it so the light that shines back ward's hits the mirror and reflect's back and bends into a focal point. A concave mirror is used for:- Dentist mirror.... to magnify a potion's teeth. They are also used in car light's but is very hard to explain. The first answer above relates to a concave mirror.


Wing mirror is convex or concave?

A wing mirror typically used in cars is convex. This curvature helps to provide a wider field of view for the driver, reducing blind spots and enhancing safety by allowing better visual coverage of the surroundings.

What is the difference between concave mirror and convex mirror?

Eyesight = ------< = the lines are pointing to how it sees. You see things more clearly for far away things> = the lines are pointing to how it sees. You see things more clearly for close objects.Concave: ---------)(> objectConvex: ---------)< objectI hope you understand the answer. I didnt explain it too well.or you could try......concave is like a "cave"..it bends inwardsand convex is just the opposite it bends outwards....//nfjn//....concave mirror is the one which forms the inner part of the spherical mirror or its reflecting surface bulges inwards & convex is the one which bulges outwards. concave always forms real & inverted image while convex forms virtual & erect image


Is a car side view mirror convex or concave?

A car side view mirror is typically convex. This design allows for a wider field of view, enabling drivers to see more of the area alongside and behind their vehicle. While convex mirrors can make objects appear smaller and farther away, they help reduce blind spots and enhance overall safety while driving.


Car window mirror concave or convex Why?

Car side mirrors are typically convex. This design allows for a wider field of view, helping drivers see more of the area beside and behind their vehicle, which is crucial for safety. While convex mirrors can distort images, they provide a greater perspective on surrounding traffic, reducing blind spots.


What type of lens is used for the rear view mirror of car?

usualy concave mirror.


Plane mirror convex or concave mirror which is best for bicycle mirror?

I use a mirror with a slight convex curve - like the outside of a spoon, but a lot less bent. But it's hard to find a good one. If you fasten a flat mirror most places on a bicycle, the mirror image will shake around so you can't see it. Also, in a convex mirror, you can see more of the road. But if it's too much bent, too round, then the image is distorted and you can't judge where a vehicle in the mirror really is. The last mirror I bought was described as convex, but actually is flat, so I'm planning to get a piece of car mirror glass cut by a glazier to fit in the frame. That glass is just a little convex.
