Question

Statement 1: Convex mirror is also known as a divergent mirror.

Statement 2: Concave mirror is also known as a convergent mirror.

• A. Only statement 1 is correct.
• B. Only statement 2 is correct.
• C. Both statements are correct
• D. Both statements are incorrect

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both statements are correct

A convex mirror is a divergent mirror and a concave mirror is a convergent mirror.

Convex mirrors are called diverging mirrors because they diverge rays of light that hit them and from a virtual image.

Concave mirrors are called converging mirrors because they bring incoming parallel rays together and cause these rays to converge.
