Detailed Solution

  • A convex mirror is a diverging mirror that is bulged outwards. 
  • It forms virtual and erect images of the objects irrespective of the distance of the objects from the mirror. 
  • Due to this small images can be seen in the mirror as a result of which many objects can be seen simultaneously. That means a convex mirror gives a wider view. 

Therefore, the convex mirror is used as rearview mirror in vehicles.
