The mirror used by the dentists to see the teeth of the patients is
- AConvex
- BConcave
- CPlane
- DNone of the above
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (b) Concave
Explanation
Dentists use a concave mirror to view teeth as it produces an enlarged, erect (virtual) image when the object is close to the mirror.
A concave mirror has an inward-curved reflecting surface that converges light; convex and plane mirrors only diminish or keep size, so they are unsuitable.
