    Concave mirrors are used in three medical applications: 1) ENT specialists use them placed on a patient's forehead to focus light into the ear, nose, or throat to make infected areas more visible; 2) They are commonly used for shaving by forming an enlarged and erect image of the face when held close; 3) They are part of ophthalmoscopes, with a concave mirror and central hole allowing doctors to focus a light beam into a patient's eye to examine the retina.

    ASSIGNMENT #5: 3 Applications of concave mirrors

    HEAD MIRROR

    Concave mirrors are also used by E.N.T. specialist. They put the concave
    mirror on their patient’s forehead. When the light rays from the light
    source are reflected from the concave mirror, it is focused into the ear,
    nose, or throat of the patient making the infected parts more visible.

    SHAVING MIRROR

    Concave mirrors are most commonly used in shaving because of its


    reflective and curved surface. During shaving, the concave mirror forms an
    enlarged and erect image of the face when the mirror is held closer to the
    face.

    OPHTHALMOSCOPE

    Concave mirrors are used in optical instruments such as


    Ophthalmoscope. Ophthalmoscope consists of a concave mirror with a
    hole in the center. The doctor focuses through the small hole from behind
    the concave mirror while a light beam is directed into the pupil of the
    patient’s eye. This makes the retina visible and makes it easy for doctors
    to check.
