Which optical device uses a convex mirror to provide a wider field of view?

  1. Microscope
  2. Periscope
  3. Rearview mirror of vehicles

Convex mirrors provide a wider field of view because they diverge reflected rays and form upright, diminished images. This is why they are used as rearview mirrors in vehicles.
