Solution

The correct option is C convex
In a convex mirror,
Incident rays: Parallel to each other,
Reflected rays: Diverging

So, a convex mirror is a diverging mirror.

Note: A concave mirror is a converging mirror.

A concave mirror can converge parallel beams of light at one point. But rays originating from the focus after reflection does not always travel parallel to the principal axis.

Describe with a suitable diagram, how a convex mirror diverges a parallel beam of light rays. Mark clearly the pole, focus and centre of curvature of convex mirror in this diagram.

If a parallel beam of light is incident on a plane mirror, the reflected rays will be

Why do rays in a parallel beam of incident light not remain parallel to each other after reflection from a rough surface?

Q. Statement I : Rays incident on a convex mirror from a point source of light, after reflection diverge.
