Solution
- If a hollow sphere is cut into parts and the outer surface of the cut part is painted, then it becomes a mirror with its inner surface as the reflecting surface. This type of mirror is known as a concave mirror.
- When the concave mirror is placed very close to the object, a magnified, erect, and virtual image is obtained.
- However, if we increase the distance between the object and the mirror then the size of the image reduces and a real and inverted image is formed.
The image formed by the concave mirror can be small or large and can be real or virtual. - The doctor needs to see an enlarged image and it cannot be formed by a convex or a plane mirror.
Hence, A concave mirror is used by ENT specialists.
