Question

Which kind of mirror is used in the headlights of a car? Why is it used for this purpose?

Solution

A concave mirror is used in the headlights of a car. A light bulb placed at the focus of a concave mirror reflector produces a strong, parallel-sided beam of light. This is because the diverging light rays of the bulb are collected by the concave reflector and then reflected.
