Question : 6

The mirror used for the head light of a car is

a) cylindrical

b) spherical concave

c) plane

d) parabolic concave

Answer: (d)

Parabolic reflectors are used to collect energy from a distant source (for example sound waves or incoming starlight) and bring it to a common focal point, thus correcting spherical aberration found in simpler spherical reflectors.

Since the principles of reflection are reversible, parabolic reflectors can also be used to project the energy of a source at its focus outward in a parallel beam, used in devices such as spotlights and car headlights.
