Hi
What are the practical applications of concave mirror?
Uses of concave mirrors:
1. The concave mirrors are commonly used as shaving mirrors because when we see our face in the concave mirror then an enlarged and erect image is formed which helps in smooth shaving. 2. A concave mirror is used as the reflector in search lights, head lights of motor vehicles, solar cookers, torches and in table lamps. 3. A concave mirror is also used as head mirror by doctors to examine the retina of the eye, ear and throat.
