In making which is a convex mirror used?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a torch light
  2. b a launch's searchlight
  3. c a rear-view mirror
  4. 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.
