It gives an erect image and as the image is dimished it would cover a wide range. Though the image is virtual it could be seen by human eyes. Because of all these we use convex mirror as a rear view mirror in vehicles.

Is a convex mirror real or virtual?

A convex mirror is real because it reflects light and forms a real image.


Why does a convex mirror have no focal point?

A convex mirror diverges light rather than converging it, so it does not have a real focal point like a concave mirror. The reflected light appears to be coming from a virtual focal point located behind the mirror. This property makes convex mirrors useful for creating a wider field of view in applications such as side mirrors on vehicles.


When does a convex mirror form real image?

A convex mirror always forms a virtual image, meaning that the light rays appear to be coming from a point behind the mirror. Thus, a real image is never formed by a convex mirror.


Can a convex form an image that is enlarged real and upright?

No, a convex mirror can only produce virtual images that are diminished and upright. The image formed by a convex mirror is always virtual and located behind the mirror.


Can a convex mirror produce real images?

Yes, but it can be hard to arrange. You need to set up a real image as a virtual object, and make the convex mirror image that. If the rays converge strongly enough, they will still converge after reflecting off the convex mirror.


Is a convex lens more like a convex mirror or a concave mirror in the way it produces images?

A convex lens is more like a concave mirror in the way it produces images. A convex lens converges light rays to form real or virtual images, much like how a concave mirror can do the same by reflecting light. Both convex lenses and concave mirrors can produce both real and virtual images depending on the object's position relative to the lens or mirror.


Why can't a convex mirror create a real image?

Because the focal point of the convex mirror will always be at a 'virtual' place. Convex mirrors focus the image at a definite point.


Differentiate between concave and convex mirror?

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.


Does not form a real image?

(1)A plane mirror (2)A convex mirror (3)A concave lens


Which does not form a real image?

(1)A plane mirror (2)A convex mirror (3)A concave lens


How can you distinguish between a plane concave and a convex mirror without touching them?

One way to distinguish between a plane concave and convex mirror without touching them is to observe their reflected images. A concave mirror will produce an upright and magnified image of an object placed in front of it, while a convex mirror will produce an upright and diminished image. Another way is to look at the reflection of a distant object – a concave mirror will form a real image, while a convex mirror will create a virtual image.


Compare concave mirror to convex mirror?

They both will give distorted images, but where a convex mirror (which bulges out like a bubble) has a right-side up image, a concave mirror (which bows in like a bowl) has an upside-down image.
