      Question

      Which type of mirror is used as a rear-view mirror in

      vehicles and why?
      A Concave mirror, because it always forms erect images Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Concave mirror, because it produces magnified images Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Plane mirror, because it forms images of same size Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Convex mirror, because it gives a wider field of view Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      A convex mirror is indeed used as a rear-view mirror in vehicles, and the main reason is its ability to provide a wider field of view. Because the reflecting surface bulges outward, rays of light diverge after reflection, and the image formed appears diminished but covers a larger area behind the vehicle.ย
