5. What kind of mirror would you use if you needed to start a fire using a mirror? Why? At what position would you place the kindling from the mirror?

Concave mirror

The kindling should be positioned at the focus point of the mirror

Explanation:

A concave mirror should be used, because it forms a real image, and focuses the image of an incident ray coming from a distant source on a single point. These mirrors are called "converging mirrors" because they tend to collect light that falls on them, refocusing parallel incoming rays toward a focus, and are sometimes used to collect light from a large area and focus it into a small spot, as in concentrated solar power.
