Well first off, convex mirrors are diverging mirrors, which means when they reflect light rays, the light rays never meet. The image that forms when an object is any length away from the mirror, the image is VIRTUAL and erect, the height of the image is smaller than that of the object, and the image is always between the focal point and the vertex of the mirror. Hope that helped!

What of these is true of convex mirrors?
Convex mirrors diverge light rays, making objects appear smaller and upright. They have a wider field of view compared to flat or concave mirrors. Convex mirrors are commonly used in rear-view car mirrors to provide a wider perspective of the surroundings.
What is true of convex mirrors?
Convex mirrors diverge light rays, resulting in a virtual upright image that is smaller than the object. They have a wider field of view than concave mirrors and are commonly used in vehicle side view mirrors to provide a wider view of the surroundings.
Are diverging mirrors and convex mirrors the same thing?
No, diverging mirrors and convex mirrors are not the same thing. A diverging mirror is a concave mirror, while a convex mirror is a mirror that curves outward. Convex mirrors have a wider field of view compared to diverging mirrors.
What are the two types of curve mirrors?
The two types of curved mirrors are concave and convex mirrors. Concave mirrors curve inward and can create both real and virtual images, while convex mirrors curve outward and only produce virtual images.
Is a concave or convex mirror used for passenger side mirrors?
Convex mirrors are often used for side mirrors (if the mirror has a note saying "objects in mirror are closer than they appear," it's convex; it may be convex even without such a note).
