Convex mirror is also known as diverging mirror because it diverges the rays of light, which fall on its reflecting surface. A convex mirror is a spherical reflecting surface where its bulging side faces the light source. There are numerous uses of the convex mirror they are used in automobiles and vehicles because they can diverge light beams and make virtual images.. These mirrors are also referred as the fish-eye mirror by automobile enthusiasts and diverging mirror by physicists. The term ‘diverging mirror’ is based on its behavior of making rays diverge upon reflection. This means that when a parallel light ray hits a convex mirror, it reflects outwards and travels directly away from an imaginary focal point. Convex mirrors are also used for security purposes in various places. They are placed near ATMs so that bank customers can check if someone is behind them. Convex mirrors are also used in other places, like street light reflectors, as they can spread light over bigger areas. They are also used to make telescopes and ceiling dome mirrors. Large offices, stores, and hospitals use a convex mirror to let people see around the corner so that they can avoid running into each other and prevent any collision.
