Want this question answered?
The object should be necessarily be placed between the focal point of the concave mirror and the pole of the mirror to produce a larger image(not larger object) behind the concave mirror.
I remember this answer by remembering the word 'cave' as in 'concave'. The answer is Concave.
concave mirrors are used as dental mirrors. this is because concave mirrors produce highly magnified images which is useful in obtaining larger view of teeth and gums.
yes it does
Virtual, larger than object
No, for a concave mirror the object will become larger. it is virtual the right way up and it is behind the mirror

A concave mirror
I remember this answer by remembering the word 'cave' as in 'concave'. The answer is Concave.
If our image is real and inverted and smaller than the object ,then it is a concave mirror; if the image is virtual and erect and larger than the object,then it is a convex mirror; if the image is of the same size as of the object,it is a plane mirror. that is how we can distinguish or identify which of the given mirrors are what. BUT if the angle is very small you cannot tell Plane is flat, convex it curves outwards and concave it curves inwards.
To reflect a larger amount of... stuff.
concave mirrors are used as dental mirrors. this is because concave mirrors produce highly magnified images which is useful in obtaining larger view of teeth and gums.
Because Concave Mirror converges Light and if object is placed between the principal focus of concave mirror and its pole , it shows a enlarged, virtual and erect image of object. that's why dentists use concave mirror ... hope this will surely help you..
A concave mirror.

Virtual, larger than object
A concave mirror is used for makeup mirrors/shaving mirrors because it produces an image that is larger than the object.
