Homework Statement
I have noticed that in cars in India on rearview mirror(convex) it is written that "objects in mirror are closer than they appear".
But for convex mirror of focal length 1 metre and object distance 39 metre, the image distance is 39/40 metre .
Which tells that image is closer but object is farther which is contradictory.
Homework Equations
1/v+1/u=1/f
The Attempt at a Solution
v=u/u-f
=u/u-1
for u=-39m,f=1m
v=39/40m
