In torches, search lights and headlights of vehicles the bulb is placed very near to the focus of the reflector.

Option (b)

Explanation:

  • According to the rule, the rays passing through the focus of the mirror will pass through the principal axis in the reflection, such that, the light will reflect towards the outer portion bright providing light on the roads.
  • The driver can see the road in the dark night too. That’s why, the bulb in torches and headlights is near to the focus.
