A concave mirror is used as a head mirror by the doctors to concentrate light on the body parts to be examined.

A concave mirror is a mirror that is curved inward in the middle. It is also known as converging mirrors, due to the fact that when parallel incident rays fall on the surface of the mirror, the rays will reflect and meet at a particular point and form the

image.

Due to its ability to converge the light rays, it is used in torches and vehicle headlights to concentrate light rays.
