Reason : 1 Mark

Convex mirror is used as reflectors at sharp turns or blind corners.

Convex mirrors are also known as diverging mirrors. A convex mirror gives a diminished, virtual and erect image of the side or rear with a wider field of view. A convex mirror enables the driver to view a much larger area than would be possible with a plane mirror.
