A convex mirror is a type of spherical mirror that has an outward-curved reflecting surface, meaning the reflective surface bulges away from the incoming light. It is essentially a portion of a sphere, and its reflective surface is the outer surface (as opposed to concave mirrors, where the reflecting surface is the inner side). Convex mirrors are commonly used in various applications where a wide field of view is required, such as in vehicle side mirrors, surveillance cameras, and optical instruments.
