Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A convex mirror is used as as a rear view mirror in vehicles.
Detailed explanation-2: -The side mirrors of the car and the rear view mirror of a car are made up of convex mirrors. This is because the image formed by a convex mirror is diminished and erect image, thus it provides a larger field of view.
Detailed explanation-3: -A convex mirror, or simply put a curved mirror, is a mirror in which the reflective surface bulges toward the light source. The surface of a curved mirror can be convex, which means bulging outward, or concave, bulging inward. A convex mirror reflects the light outwards and is therefore not used to focus light.
