Question 14 • Crowley Credit Recovery Physics B

What is the purpose of a rearview mirror in a car?

Answer
A
The mirror allows the light to be absorbed so the driver will not see any glare.
B
The mirror allows the light to interfere so the light waves combine to form an image.
C
The mirror allows the light to be reflected so the objects behind the car can be seen.
D
The mirror allows the light to be transmitted so the light will not reach the driver's eyes.

Explanation

A rearview mirror reflects light from objects behind the car into the driver’s eyes, allowing the driver to see them. It does not absorb or transmit the light; reflection is what forms the visible image in the mirror.
