प्रश्न
State two uses of a concave mirror.
Give the uses of a concave mirror.
उत्तर १
Two uses of concave mirror:
(i) It is used as a shaving mirror.
(ii) It is used as reflector in torch, head light of automobiles etc.
उत्तर २
The uses of a concave mirror are
(i) In torches and headlights: The source of light is placed at the focus to obtain a parallel beam of light.
(ii) In floodlights: The source of light is placed just beyond the center of curvature so as to get an intense beam of light.
(iii) Reflecting mirrors for projector lamps: The object is placed at the center of curvature to obtain an image of the same size.
- To collect heat radiations in solar devices: Heat radiations from the sum coming from infinity are brought to focus by a concave mirror in its focal plane.
- Shaving mirror, dentist’s mirror: It produces an erect virtual and highly magnified image of an object placed between its pole and focus.
vi. Solar furnaces: Large concave mirrors are used to concentrate sunlight to produce heat in a solar furnace.
