Answers (1)

P Pankaj Sanodiya

Convex mirrors are preferred as a rearview mirror in vehicles as:

i) It forms an erect (Rigidly upright or straight.) image of an object hence object becomes easily identified.
ii) It forms a diminished image of the object thus increases the field of vision.
iii) An object that is far away from us is seen closer which helps us to take early decision while driving.
