Question

Statement 1: A concave mirror can converge a parallel beam of light to a point.
Statement 2: The reflection taking place in the above statement is a regular reflection.

• A. Only statement 1 is false
• B. Only statement 2 is false
• C. Both statements are true
• D. Both statements are false

Answer 1

The correct option is B Only statement 2 is false

A concave mirror can converge a parallel beam of light to a point as shown below.

Regular reflection is a reflection in which all the incident parallel rays of light remains parallel after reflection from the reflecting surface.
In case of concave mirrors, the parallel beam of light is converged to a point after reflection and hence ceases to be a parallel beam of light. Thus, the reflection is not regular, but an irregular one.
