Fill in the following blanks with suitable words :
(a) Parallel rays of light are reflected by a concave mirror to a point called the ___.
(b) The focal length of a concave mirror is the distance from the ___ to the mirror.
(c) A concave mirror ___rays of light whereas a convex mirror___rays of light.
(d) For a convex mirror, parallel rays of light appear to diverge from a point called the___.
(a)
Thus,
Parallel rays of light are reflected by a concave mirror to a point called the focus.
b)
The focal length of a concave mirror is the distance from the focus to the mirror.
c)
A concave mirror converges rays of light whereas a convex mirror diverges rays of light.
d)
For a convex mirror, parallel rays of light appear to diverge from a point called the focus.
Thus, the correct word for the blanks are;
a) focus
b) focus
c) converges, diverges
d) focus
