Somebody slept through physics class in high school. The short focal length used provides a wide field of view as well as a great depth of field (everything is in focus). Since the lens is round, these things go wide as well as tall, so you can see cars coming from the side, and you can see the bumper and the sky. The good news is that modern lenses and screens give the driver a much more detailed and higher resolution picture, and in less light, than cars with this feature even just a few years ago.
Those who use reverse at night a lot should seriously consider the quickly changed and inexpensive LED back-up lamps (search this forum); it's like having a lighting crew riding in your trunk.

I have had the LED backup lights for about a year or so, and they are great. They are very bright and light up the road or driveway behind you at night very clearly. They would have to burn with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns to burn out the image at night.
Be sure to get the right ones. The ones I got burn very hot, and come with a warning to only use them as backup lights, not as anything else that will stay on for a longer period of time. The difference is well worth the modest cost, and replacement is very easy. These items are discussed at length on posts in this forum, and all you have to do to get the details is search around.

To change your reverse light, this is the better thread.
