What is the use of convex mirrors..?
Use of Convex Mirrors Convex mirrors are often used in car wing-mirrors because they have a greater field of view than a similar plane mirror. However the greater field of view is at the expense of making objects seem further away than they are in reality. Hence the expression seen etched on to the mirrors, ‘Objects in Mirror are Closer than they Appear’. For outside uses–such as viewing driveways, alleys, parking garage, entrances, and exits–a round convex mirror works very well. The “roundtangular” mirror will allow you to avoid the sun more than the round mirror, and some customers feel it has a more attractive design. Both mirrors work equally well at viewing left to right angles.
