The light rays come together to make a bright spot of light. When a concave mirror is used in car headlights, a bulb is placed at the spot where light would come together. This has the effect of making the opposite happen. The rays of light shining out from the bulb are reflected off the concave mirror to make a strong beam of light, which travels out in front of the car to shine on the road.
