Solution

The correct option is B
C

CA will fall normally to the concave mirror, thus by laws reflection the angle of incidence is O and so the angle of reflection will be O. Hence the ray will retrace its path and pass through C (centre of curvature).

If a ray of light starts from C and is incident on A from which point will the reflected ray pass through:

Q. A ray of light is incident on a concave mirror. It is parallel to the principal axis and its height from principal axis is equal to the focal length of the mirror. The ratio is the distance of point B to the distance of the focus from the centre of curvature is :
