A parallel beam of light after suffering reflection from a concave mirror returns back as ___ beam of light.

Open in App

Solution

A concave mirror is also known as a converging mirror because when a parallel beam of light falls on it, they converge to a single point after reflection.
Thus, a parallel beam of light after suffering reflection from a concave mirror returns back as a converging beam of light.
