Concept: Inside buildings, Security purposes are the two uses of a convex mirror.
A convex mirror is used to distort the image of an object. Because of the variety of rays emanating from the object, this is also known as a diverging mirror. So, when we need a small image of an object, we use a convex mirror.
As we discussed in a hint, a convex mirror is used to create a small image of an object, so we can consider the uses of a convex mirror-like in our daily lives where we need a small image of an object.
Uses
(1). A convex mirror was used in the vehicle.
(2). The convex mirror on a street light is used because it diverges the light, allowing it to cover a larger area.
A concave mirror, like a convex mirror, is a component of a spherical mirror. A concave mirror is used to focus all of the rays emitted by an object. As a result, a concave mirror is also known as a converging mirror.
So, in order to discover the practical applications of a concave mirror, we must concentrate on situations in which a converging image is required.
Some applications for the concave mirror are listed below (i). The concave mirror in the vehicle's headlight was used to focus the light at a specific point.
(ii). A concave mirror is also used in the torch to focus the light at a specific point.
(iii). Concave mirrors are widely used in solar ovens, solar cookers, and power plants to heat water by converging the sun's rays. As a result, the steam generated by the hot water was used to power the power plant's turbine.
Hence, the correct answer is convex mirrors.
