Question

is solar concentrator and concave reflector the same?

Answer 1

Solar concentrators are devices that work on the basic principle of focusing the sun.

A curved mirror is a mirror with a curved reflecting surface. The surface may be either convex or concave. Most curved mirrors have surfaces that are shaped like part of a sphere.

Answer 2

Concave mirrors converge the rays of light falling on it. So they are used as solar concentrators in solar cookesrs ,heaters etc.The point at which all the rays converge is called focus.So the substance to be heated is placed at the focus of the concave mirror.
