Solution
The inner surface of the reflector of a torch acts as a concave mirror.
Explanation:
The inner surface of the reflector in a torch is curved inward, like a concave mirror. This shape reflects and focuses light from the bulb into a narrow beam, making the light more directed and useful for illumination. A concave mirror converges light rays to a focal point, which is why it’s used in torches to focus the light.
