The centre of curvature of a ..... mirror is behind it.
The centre of curvature of a ..... mirror is behind it.
- A. convex
- B. Concave
- C. convex or concave
- D. None of these
Step-by-step solution
For a concave mirror, the centre of curvature is in front of the mirror (on the same side as the reflecting surface). For a convex mirror, the centre of curvature is behind the mirror (on the opposite side). Therefore, the mirror with the centre of curvature behind it is a convex mirror.
