Q. What kind of mirror will be best suited for use in a solar cooker?
Answer: Concave
Notes: When the sun’s rays falling on concave mirror, these are reflected so as converge to a point called the focus of mirror. Since concave mirror can concentrate sun’s rays falling on it at one point, it can be used as burning glass. It is because of this property that concave mirrors are used in solar cookers. A flat mirror does not have a focal point. It does regular reflection off all of its points.
