Concave mirror is used in the headlights of a car. This is because when a lighted bulb is placed at the focus of a concave mirror reflector, then the diverging light rays of the bulb are collected by the concave reflector and then reflected to produce a strong, parallel-sided beam of light (which travels a considerable distance in the darkness of night).
