प्रश्न
Name the type of mirror used in the following situation:
Solar furnace
Support your answer with reason.
उत्तर
Concave Mirror: This is because for solar furnaces, we use a concave mirror. Light from the sun, on reflection from the mirror, is concentrated at the focus of the mirror, producing heat.
