The concave mirror reflects the bulb's light, and if the bulb is at the mirror's focus, sends it out as a parallel beam.
becayse ray travelling parallel to the principal axis will refract so that it appears to come from the principal focus.
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.
concave mirrors are used as rear view mirrors and serve dentists and used as reflectors
Concave mirrors
In flood lights,the source of light is placed between the pole and focus of a concave mirror so as to obtain a diverging beam of light..
CONCAVE
Concave Mirrors
a detist use concave mirrors to focus light on the tooth because when objects are kept very closee to concave mirrors they look larger, this makes concave mirrors useful for a dentist to focus light on the tooth.
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.
Convex mirrors are used in the rear view mirror of cars because they give an erect and virtual image of the traffic behind. They let us see a wider view of the traffic. Concave mirrors are used by the dentists to see a larger image of our teeth. They are used as solar furnaces to reflect the light on the focus .They are even used in shaving mirrors. concave mirrors are used in reflector type telescopes. Concave mirrors are used by doctors to focus light into ears,throat etc. concave mirrors are used to focus light for heating purposes.
The light bulbs in flashlight are not powerful but the mirrors inside help reflect the light that is not directed in your direction
Concave mirrors focus light inward to one focal point. They are often used in telescopes and to magnify the face in makeup mirrors.
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.
concave mirrors are used as rear view mirrors and serve dentists and used as reflectors
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.
Concave mirrors are used because they will reflect a light source inside the curve in one general direction. To be more specific, the mirrors are close to parabolic. Parabolas have the property that light beams generated at the focal point of the parabola are all reflected parallel out of the mirror.
Concave mirrors are used in telescopes. Convex mirrors are used as side-view mirrors in cars.
-A car's headlight, reflector lamps. -Concave mirrors can be used as makeup or shaving mirrors because an enlarged image can be obtained using a concave image. -Concave mirrors can also be mirrors used for dentists to see an enlarged image of a tooth.
