Concave Mirror

Imagine trying to scoop ice cream from a container, but the scoop is flat and doesn't quite gather the ice cream effectively. This is similar to how a concave mirror works because, just like a curved ice cream scoop gathers and focuses the ice cream into a single ball, a concave mirror collects and focuses light rays toward a single point. The inward curve of the mirror acts like the curve of the scoop, directing and concentrating the scattered light beams just like the scoop directs the ice cream, making it more effective at gathering and focusing them.
