Which of the following would you find in the side view mirror of a car?

57% Answer Correctly

convex lens

convex mirror

concave mirror

concave lens


Solution

A concave (or converging) mirror bulges inward and focuses reflected light on the mirror's focal point where the mirror's angles of incidence converge. In contrast, a convex (or diverging) mirror bulges outward and diffuses the light waves that strike it. A common use of a concave mirror is in a reflecting telescope, a common use of a convex mirror is in the side view mirror of a car.
