The rear - view mirror of a car is

Choose the correct option: The rear view mirror of a car is a plane mirror. A driver is reversing his car at a speed of 2 m/s. The driver sees in his rear view mirror the image of a truck parked behind his car. The speed at which the image of the truck appears to approach the driver will be :

A rear view mirror of a car is …………….. .

A rear view mirror of a car is ……….. .

Have you observed the rare view mirrors of a car ?

A small object of height h is placed perpendicular to the principal axis of a convex mirror of focal length f at a distance x from the pole of the mirror. An observer is located on the principal axis at a distance L from the pole of the mirror. (Take x, f, L gt gt h] . (a) Calculate the angle alpha formed by the image at the eye of the observer (b) If the convex mirror is replaced by a plane mirror, with all other things remaining unchanged, calculate the angle beta formed by the image at the eye. (c) Justify the statement “objects are closer than they appear” written on the rear view mirror of your car.

Give scientific reasons: A convex mirror is used as a rear-view mirror in a car.

Out of plane mirror, convex mirror and concave mirror : (a) Which mirror is used as a reflector in the headlights of a car ? (b) which mirror is used as a rear-view mirror in a car ?

Car rear view mitrrors carry a warning message that" objects in the rear view mirror are closer than they appear". Why do you think this is so?

The radius of curvature of a convex mirror used as a rear view mirror in a moving car is 2.0 m. A truck is coming form behind it at a distancce of 3.5 m. Calculate (a) position, and (b)size, of the image relative to the size of the truck. What will be the nature of the image ?
