(c) Only the reflected rays making a small angle with the mirror meet at a point when produced backward.
(d) Light of different colours make different images.

Solution

(a) All the reflected rays meet at a point when produced backward.

Here, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. Therefore, all rays get reflected to converge at a single point to form the point image of the point source.
