Solution

The correct option is B False

Explanation

  1. Concave mirrors are used in reflectors of automobiles.
  2. This is because the concave mirror converges the light.
  3. In the headlight of the car, a bulb is placed at the focus of the mirror.
  4. After reflection, the light reaches infinity.
  5. A convex mirror (diverging mirror) is not used as it will spread out the light rays.

So, the statement is false.
