Question

Why can you not use a concave mirror as a rear-view mirror in vehicles?

Open in App
Solution

We cannot use a concave mirror as a rear-view mirror in vehicles because it forms an inverted image of the object which is at a large distance from it. Also, a concave mirror has an extremely small field of view, i.e. it can form very few images of many objects at the same time.
