Use of convex mirror
A convex mirror always produces a smaller, virtual, and erect image of an object.
In convex mirror, the length of the image is shorter than that of the object. Hence, it is used as a side view mirror in vehicles because the viewed area must be larger than the surface area of the mirror. The convex mirror forms images of vehicles that are spread over a relatively larger area.
