Convex mirrors are also curved mirrors, but the silvered surface bulges outward instead of inward, as with the concave spherical mirror. As with all mirrors, the angle of incidence of a ray of light is equal to the angle of reflection with respect to a normal on the surface. On a curved surface the normal changes with the curvature. Therefore, the light rays will diverge from the object. If the rays of light are extrapolated back to the point where they converge, this will be the point where the image is formed. For reflections off a convex mirror, the image is virtual and upright. Use of Convex Mirrors: Convex mirrors are often used in car wing-mirrors because they have a greater field of view than a similar plane mirror. However the greater field of view is at the expense of making objects seem further away than they are in reality. Hence the expression seen etched on to the mirrors, 'Objects in Mirror are Closer than they Appear'. Concave mirrors are also used as security mirrors as they enable the viewer to see over a greater region of space another use for this mirror is used in making sunglasses and telescopes. bet you didn't know that did u ???
convex mirror is not used in solar cooker since it form image inside the polished surface
I dont know how about you

It is the point at which all the light rays seem to converge in the case of convex mirror.

convex mirror is used to reject coming rays and to see perfect.

The most common use of a convex mirror is as view finder in vehicles. It is used in supermarkets and stores for surveillance. For making sun glasses and telescopes also convex mirror is used.
In cars
A convex mirror is used as the wing mirror on a vehicle, not as the internal rear view mirror. The advantage of the convex mirror is that it gives a wider field of view, but it must be used with caution, because it distorts distances, making it hard to judge how near another object is.
convex mirror
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).

Convex mirror
Vigilance mirror is made of convex mirror because convex mirror shows large field of view. ... Image formed in the convex mirror is small in the size and closer. So we can see clear image.
Concave mirrors are used in telescopes. Convex mirrors are used as side-view mirrors in cars.
