Answer:
Explanation:
1) car headlights: Concave mirrors
a) Headlights of car: Type of mirror used is concave as the light of lamp undergoes divergence from reflector surface and cover large area in the front. b) Solar/rear view of vehicle: It is a convex mirror as it gives diminished, virtual and an erect image of the side or rear with a wider field of view.
2) rearview mirror of vehicles: Convex mirrors
Convex mirrors are used as side/rearview mirror of a vehicle as convex mirrors always give an erect, though the diminished image. Also, they have a wider view as they are curved outward.
concave mirror : solar furnace
It is a concave mirror. As sun rays after reflection from its surface, get converged at focus with much intense heat.
