Question
If a driver has one convex and one plane rear-view mirror, how would the images in each mirror appear different?
Solution
| Image formed in a plane mirror | Image formed in a convex mirror |
| 1. Image is of the same size as the object. | 1. Image is smaller than the object. |
| 2. The distance of the image from the mirror is equal to the distance of the object from the mirror. | 2. Distance of the image from the mirror is not equal to the distance of the object from the mirror. |
| 3. It has a small field of view. | 3.Iit has a large field of view. |
