Bulb be placed for the best headlight design

Reference no: EM13653024

Car headlights use concave mirrors. There's a concave mirror in the back of the headlight socket, and the actual light bulb is placed somewhere along the principal axis. Your question for this essay: where should that bulb be placed for the best headlight design? Should it be at the focal point? At the radius of curvature? Somewhere else?
