1. The wave and quantum nature of light, its velocity, wavelength, polarization,
diffraction, and interference of light are responsible to these.
2. Cameras cannot see images as clearly as our eyes can. Cameras produce
larger images as well.
3. The smaller the patch of sky you're looking at, the longer the focal length.
A longer focal length, on the other hand, allows for greater magnification.
4. Because a convex mirror allows a wide range of vision, including blind
corners, it helps to reduce the possibility of accidents.
5. Using optical instruments allows us to see things more clearly and in
greater detail. If I want to look presentable, I use a mirror, and when I
can't read a book because of its small font size, I use a magnifying glass.
