$\large\sf{Uses-of-Concave-Mirror:-}$

Mirrors, whose reflecting surfaces are curved and can be imagined as part of a sphere, are called spherical mirrors. If the reflecting surface of a spherical mirror is curved outwards, it is called a convex mirror. Whereas a mirror with a reflecting surface, which is bent inwards, is called a concave mirror. Concave mirrors reflect and focus incoming light rays (parallel) at a point, called the focus point. Depending on the distance of an object from the reflecting surface, different types of images are formed. Both kinds of mirrors are used in science and technology. These are used in daily life also. Concave mirrors are used as headlights, torches, head mirrors, solar furnaces, microscopes, telescopes, etc.

$\large\sf{Definition-of-a-Concave-Mirror:-}$

A concave mirror is a spherical mirror, which has a reflecting surface, dented inwards. Concave mirrors reflect and focus incoming light rays (parallel) at a point, called the focus point. Depending on the distance of an object from the reflecting surface, different types of images are formed. Concave mirrors are also called converging mirrors since light rays converge after reflection at concave mirrors.

Reflecting Telescopes:- Concave mirrors are widely used in different reflecting telescopes in observational astronomy. The concave mirror in a reflecting mirror collects the light from distant celestial objects. Since the light sources are very far away, the incoming light rays are effectively parallel. The concave mirror focuses the light rays on a flat mirror, kept at its focal distance. Due to the convergence, the intensity of the light (incident on the flat mirror) increases. Then the reflection of the flat mirror is seen through the eyepiece.

Microscopes:- A concave mirror is used in the base of a microscope as a condenser. The light from an external source is shone on the specimen, after being passed through the mirror. The concave mirror concentrates the light on the specimen only to ensure that the surroundings are relatively dark. The orientation of the mirror can be changed by rotating it. The specimen is seen through an eyepiece.

Headlights and Torches:- The bulb of a headlight or a torch is placed at the focus of a concave mirror. The light rays, coming from the bulb, emerge out as parallel rays after getting reflected at the concave mirror. The reflected rays can cover large distances with high intensity.

Optical Instruments in Medicine:- Concave mirrors are used in instruments like ophthalmoscope (used to test the condition of eyes), otoscope (used to observe into ears), and many more. Concave mirrors are also used in simple diagnostic devices called head mirrors, which are used by ENT specialists. The setup is used for proper illumination without shadows in the examining areas.

Dental Mirrors:- Dentists used concave mirrors to have a better view of the interior of the mouth.

Optical Cavity:- Concave mirrors are used in optical cavities, which play an important role in laser physics. The light rays reflect multiple times inside a cavity and form standing waves.

Solar Furnace:- Sunlight is focused on using very large concave mirrors in solar furnaces. The concave mirror gathers a huge amount of sunlight and concentrates it at the focal point. This concentrated energy is used for heating, cooking, generating electricity, or melting metals.
