Which of the following mirrors can be used in places where bigger objects are to be viewed in a smaller size?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Convex mirror.

A convex mirror is used in places where bigger objects need to be viewed in a smaller size. Convex mirrors bulge outward and reflect light outward, allowing them to cover a wider field of view. This property makes them ideal for use in parking lots, roadside mirrors, and security purposes, where a large area needs to be monitored in a compact reflection. Although the image formed is diminished and virtual, it helps viewers see more space in a single glance.
