Detailed Solution

A convex mirror is used as a rear-view mirror.
In all cases, a convex mirror forms a diminished, virtual and erect image. It allows more light to fall on it because of the nature of its curvature. Thus, it has more field of view. Convex mirrors are employed as rear-view mirrors in automobiles. It gives the driver a wide view of the road behind him as well as the images created are steep and small. However, it should be carefully noted that the objects visible in the mirror are closer than they appear.
