Solution

  1. Dentists use a concave mirror.
  2. A mirror with a curved reflecting surface is referred to as a curved mirror.
  3. Although optical systems occasionally employ alternative shapes, most curved mirrors have surfaces that are formed like a sphere.
  4. When an object is placed near a concave mirror, it forms an upright and enlarged image of the object. As a result, the dentist positions the mirror so that the tooth is in between focus and pole.
