In making which is a convex mirror used?
Think it through first, then pick an option.
- a torch light
- b a launch's searchlight
- c a rear-view mirror
- d laser
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: c a rear-view mirror
The rear-view mirror of a car is made with a convex mirror, because a convex mirror gives an upright, smaller image and shows a large scene in a small space. A torch light and a searchlight use a concave mirror; a laser is not in this book.
