Question

A concave mirror of small aperture forms a sharper image.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The rays of light travelling parallel to the principal axis, after reflection from a concave mirror meet at a single point only if the beam of light is narrow or if the mirror is of small aperture. In case, a wide beam of light falls on a concave mirror of large aperture, the rays after reflection would not converge at a single point. Therefore, if the aperture of the mirror is small, the image formed will be sharper.
