Give two uses of concave mirrors. Explain why you would choose concave mirrors for these uses.
Two uses of concave mirrors are:
1. It is used as shaving mirrors.
2. It is used by dentists.
We choose the concave mirror for these uses because a concave mirror produces a magnified or larger image when the object is placed between the pole $(P)$ and the focus $(F)$, which helps in making a smooth shave, and helps in locating the tooth defect easily.
Explanation
For an object placed between the pole $(P)$ and the focus $(F)$, the image formed by a concave mirror is virtual and erect, bigger than the object (enlarged) and behind the mirror.
