Why are convex mirrors preferred as rear-view (wing) mirrors in vehicles?
AThey form real, larger images of vehicles behind
BThey focus sunlight onto a small spot for the driver
CThey give an erect, diminished image with a wider field of view
DThey show vehicles closer than they actually are
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. They give an erect, diminished image with a wider field of view
Convex mirrors give erect and diminished images and have a wider field of view, letting the driver see a larger area of the road than a plane mirror could.
