What kind of mirror-concave, convex or plane-would be best suited for use in a solar cooker ? Why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A solar cooker uses heat of the sunlight to cook the food. A concave mirror would be best suited for use in a solar cooker because it reflects and focuses the sunlight at a point.
The temperature at that point increases which heats and cooks the food placed at that particular area.
