Physics · Reflection of light, spherical mirrors, mirror formula
Figure shows two rays and being reflected by a mirror and going as 'A' and 'B'.
Figure shows two rays \( A \) and \( B \) being reflected by a mirror and going as 'A' and 'B'. The mirror
- A. is plane
- B. is convex
- C. \) is concave
- D. may be any spherical mirror
Step-by-step solution
In typical optics problems, when two rays that are initially parallel are reflected by a mirror and converge to a point, the mirror is concave. The figure (not shown) likely illustrates such convergence, consistent with the standard behavior of a concave mirror.
