(a) Explain the steps to obtain the image formed by a convex mirror. (b) Describe the properties of the image formed by a convex mirror. (c) Explain in your own words why convex mirrors are used as rear-view mirrors in cars. (d) An incoming beam of light makes an angle of 15° with the first mirror as shown below. Determine the angle that the outgoing beam will make with the second mirror. You may assume that the two mirrors are perpendicular to each other. 150
