WHY CONVEX MIRRORS ARE USED
IN REAR VIEW MIRRORS IN
VEHICLES?
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
How image forms?
Spherical Mirrors -Types
Ray Diagram of Mirrors –convex mirrors
Properties of Mirrors –convex mirrors
Uses of convex mirrors
How image forms?
• Light waves travel from their source in all directions
and in a straight line.
• If a light wave hits an object, it may be reflected, or it
may bounce off the object.
Spherical Mirrors
 Formed by a part of curved part of a hollow
glass.
 Two types-
 Convex
 Concave
• A convex mirror curves outward like the back of a
spoon.
• Convex mirrors cause a beam of light to diverge, or
spread apart as if it came from a focal point behind the
mirror.

Properties of Mirrors –
Convex Mirrors
•All images formed by a
convex mirror are
virtual,
right side up, and
small.
•Convex mirrors are
useful because they
make small images of
large areas.
 A virtual image is an image that appears to come
from a place that the light does not actually come from.
 Many cars, buses, and trucks use convex side mirrors
so the driver can see more of the surrounding area.
 Convex mirrors are used in rear-view mirrors in vehicles
as the images formed by convex erect, virtual, full size
diminished image of distant objects with a wider field of
view.
 Where as in plane mirrors, the image formed is not
diminished and it won’t gives us a wider view
 Concave mirrors forms inverted images, hence not suitable
for using in vehicles(Why?)
 Plain ,convex or concave mirror?
