Why are concave mirrors useful for satellites?

Concave mirrors focus light on a specific point. That can increase the concentration of sun light on solar panels. Concave antennae are used to aim radio waves, as well as collect them and focus them on a receiver.


What are the uses of plane convex and concave mirrors?

Some convex mirrors are used for magnification... such as those you might see at a make-up counter in the store. Concave mirrors are used in stores. They're put up in the corners so that a large area can be seen that would otherwise be out of view. The also have very specified uses for bouncing lazers and those sorts of applications.


Name two types of curved mirrors?

Concave mirrors and convex mirrors are two types of curved mirrors. Concave mirrors converge light rays to a focal point and can form real or virtual images. Convex mirrors diverge light rays and produce virtual, upright, and diminished images.


Which type of mirrors are used to give an erect enlarged image of an object?

Concave mirrors are used to give an erect and enlarged image of an object. The image formed is virtual, upright, and magnified when the object is placed between the focal point and the mirror's surface.


What is important in concave and convex mirror?

In concave mirrors, the focal point, focal length, and magnification are important. Concave mirrors can form real or virtual images depending on the object's position relative to the mirror. In convex mirrors, the field of view and image size are important. Convex mirrors always produce virtual images that are smaller and upright compared to the object.

Why are concave mirrors used in flashlights and automobile headlights?

because the reflected light would spread out over a wide area if convex mirrors were used, whereas concave mirrors focus these reflected light rays into a beam, which give flash lights and headlights their unique characteristic.

What are the practical uses for concave and convex mirrors?

Concave mirrors are used in reflecting telescopes, makeup mirrors, and headlights to focus light rays. Convex mirrors are used in security mirrors, wide-angle rearview mirrors in cars, and magnifying glasses to provide a wider field of view or to reduce image distortion.
