Solution

The mirror used in the ear, nose, throat, and teeth (ENT):

  1. The interior of the ear, nose, and throat is extremely tiny.
  2. The concave mirror makes it easier to see microscopic parts during surgery.
  3. As a result, the concave mirror improves the doctor's vision and is useful in medical treatments.

Concave Mirror:

  1. When a hollow spherical is cut into parts and the outside surface of the cut component is painted, it creates a mirror, with the inside surface reflecting light.
  2. This sort of mirror is known as a concave mirror.
  3. Concave mirrors are commonly used as shaving mirrors, dental mirrors, and telescope mirrors.
  4. The concave mirror adjusts the light beams that come from various angles.
  5. When an object's rays clash with a concave mirror, they are deflected and focused on the dispersed section of the eye (retina).
