Solution
Concave mirror is used as a reflector in headlights of vehicles because when the bulb of the headlight is placed at the focus of the concave mirror, it allows the light to spread out to infinity. A concave mirror is more focused as it is a converging mirror.
Concave mirror is a curved mirror whose reflecting surface is on the inner side of the mirror.
Concave mirror can form both real and virtual images depending on the position of the object at which it has been placed.
