उत्तर
Two uses of concave mirror are :
- Concave mirror is used as REFLECTOR in headlights of cars and in searchlight. The source of light (bulb) is placed at the principal focus and the reflector forms a parallel beam of light.
- For doctors to examine throat, ear, nose and eyes, light is focused with the help of a concave mirror.
