**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Type of Mirror**: Understand that a concave mirror is a mirror that curves inward, resembling a portion of a sphere. 2. **Use in Shaving**: One of the primary uses of a concave mirror is as a shaving mirror. The inward curvature allows for a magnified reflection, which helps individuals see their face more clearly while shaving. 3. **Use in Lighting Devices**: Another significant use of a concave mirror is in lighting devices such as torches and the headlights of automobiles. The concave shape helps to focus light into a beam, making it more effective for illumination. ...
