In motor vehicles, a convex mirror is attached near the driver's seat to give him the view of the traffic behind. What is the special function of this convex mirror which a plane mirror cannot do?

Answer»

A convex mirror forms a virtual, erect and diminished image behind the mirror if the object is in front of it. So it covers a vast area behind the driver.      

The plane mirror also forms virtual and erect image behind the mirror but it is of the same size. So the plane mirror does not cover a wide field behind the driver. Hence the convex mirror is used.
