Convex Mirrors

What is the reflection of light in a convex mirror?

• Outwards and converge

• Outwards and diverge

• Inwards and converge

• Inwards and diverge

State one use of convex mirrors in everyday life.

• Microscopes

• Magnifying mirrors for makeup

• Telescopes

• Rear-view mirrors in vehicles

What happens to the size of the image formed by a convex mirror when the object is moved closer to the mirror?

• The size of the image will increase

• The size of the image will disappear

• The size of the image will decrease

• The size of the image will remain the same

Describe the characteristics of the image formed by a convex mirror when the object is located between the mirror and the focal point.

• Real, inverted, and larger in size

• Virtual, upright, and smaller in size

• Real, upright, and larger in size

• Virtual, inverted, and smaller in size

Explain why convex mirrors are used as rear-view mirrors in vehicles.

• Convex mirrors are used as rear-view mirrors in vehicles because they provide a 360-degree view of the surroundings.

• Convex mirrors provide a narrower field of view and a larger image, making it easier to see the entire area behind the vehicle.

• Convex mirrors distort the image, making it difficult to see the entire area behind the vehicle.

• Convex mirrors provide a wider field of view and a smaller image, making it easier to see the entire area behind the vehicle.

State one advantage of using a convex mirror in security and surveillance systems.

• Distorted image

• Narrow field of view

• Limited visibility

• Wider field of view
