Figure (18-Q2) shows two rays A and B being reflected by a mirror and going as A' and B'. The mirror
(a) is plane
(b) is convex
(c) is concave
(d) may be any spherical mirror. Figure

Solution
(a) is plane
This is because the reflected rays are still parallel, which is only possible if the mirror is a plane mirror. A spherical mirror will either converge or diverge the reflected rays.
