Detailed Solution

Mirrors used in the designing of solar furnaces are concave mirrors.
A concave mirror is used in the design of solar furnaces because they converge the parallel sun rays at a point. This helps to increase the temperature of the furnace. And this type of mirror is the only type of mirror that reflects light toward a single focal point, whereas a flat mirror does not have a focal point. It does regular reflection on all of its points.
