    Q1. Which type of mirror is used as a rear-view mirror in vehicles?

    • A) Plane mirror
    • B) Concave mirror
    • C) Parabolic mirror
    • D) Convex mirror

    Answer: Convex mirror

    Explanation: Convex mirrors have an outwardly curved reflective surface that diverges incoming light rays, producing a virtual, upright, and diminished image with a wider field of view than a flat mirror of the same size. This wide-angle view makes them ideal as rear-view mirrors, allowing drivers to see more of the road behind them.
