farther away, for example the rear view mirrors in your car have a print on them saying "objects in mirror are closer than they appear"

Why is convex mirrors used in vehicles?
convex mirrors are used in vehicles because convex mirrors make things look bigger which will be easy for the drivers.
What kind of surface reflects light to form an enlarged image?
If you're talking about mirrors then convex is the mirrors that makes things appear larger. Hope this helps!
Why are concave mirrors suitable for makeup?
Concave mirrors magnify what is viewed in them. That is similar to how convex lenses work (things work opposite with mirrors). So you get a closeup view of your face while you apply makeup.
Do farsighted people see things closer better or farther away?

What is a curved glass that makes things look closer than they really are?
Curved glass that makes things look larger or closer is a magnifying glass.
Use of convex mirror?
For a wider field of view in the reflection. In the middle of the mirror, the mirror is facing directly towards you. But nearer the edges it is tilted to the side or above and so you can see things that you would have to turn or tilt an ordinary flat mirror to see.
Which option can make an object look closer or farther away than it actually is?
A Telescope. Look down the end with the eyepiece and things shall appear closer, look down the other end and things will look further away.
What mirror is used in automobiles for rear view is it concave mirror dr talwalkar talwalkardataone.in?
Rear View MirrorThe kind of mirror used in the rear-view mirror must be convex mirrors, because it creates smaller, yet still upright images. Concave mirrors would create an inverted image and the cars you see are not upside down. Convex mirrors make everything smaller so this allows the driver to see a greater range of things behind him.
What things use convex lenses?
You know those microscopes? Well, you probably do. A convex lens can be found in a microscope. Concave AND convex are both used in this item. You can also check www.brainpop.com on microscopes depending on your age (3-5 grades). It sadly cost money. There are also farsightedness glasses that use convex lenses. And you might've guessed, nearsightedness glasses use concave. Magnifying glasses are of convex lens use, too. Then there's also contact lenses. Magnifying glasses, telescopes, vehicle mirrors and more mirrors in hospitals and other building use these lenses. Sorry if this paragraph was too long but I hope this was helpful!
What to things causes the seasons to happen on earth?
The earth revolves around the sun, as it gets farther away, it becomes winter and closer summer.
Does a convex lens invert images?
Yes. Image formed by convex lens is laterally inverted. However, It should be kept in mind that convex lens can form both real and virtual images. If the object is placed beyond F (Focus), then real image will be formed and laterally inverted. However, if the object is placed between F and C. Then the images formed will be virtual but NOT laterally inverted. For concave lens, all images formed is on the same side so the images formed is NOT laterally inverted
Can rear view mirrors carry a warning that the objects in view are closer than they appear why do you think so?
The normal rear view mirror in most cars does not do this, as it is a plane mirror which shows things at their actual distance, but other rear view mirrors may. The wing mirrors of most vehicles are convex, which means they curve outwards. This type of mirror makes objects seem smaller and further away. The advantage of them is that they also give you a wider field of view, so you can see more of the road. It is important to be aware that distances are distorted, because you use the information from your mirrors to judge where other vehicles are, so that you can manoeuvre safely.
