Convex mirrors are used as driving mirrors because images formed are
a.
Erect, virtual and diminished
b.
Erect, real and diminished
c.
Erect, virtual and magnified
d.
Inverted, virtual and diminished
Correct answer: A
The image formed on a driving mirror has to be erect, virtual, and diminished. It will diminished so that the driver will have a wider range of view. The image also has to be erect because it will be difficult for a driver to understand upside down images on the driving mirror.
