⚠️ Road Mirror ⚠️ // Convex Mirror

The road mirror is an example of convex mirror. Because the surface of the mirror is curved out, it provides a much wider angle of vision for drivers to notice cars coming from blind spot and prevent accidents. It also reduces the size of image presented in the mirror. This is a photo of my cousin and I standing about 80cm away from the road mirror while taking this photo.

 

The four characteristics of the image in a convex mirror:

 

Size: Image is smaller than the object

Orientation: Upright

Type: Virtual

Location: Behind the mirror
