Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

In mirrors, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. Since it is a convex mirror, the angle of reflection will depend on the curvature. So, we can't say that the light ray will reflect off at an angle greater than the angle of incidence.

Therefore, the statement is False.
