Question

The beam of light coming from the headlight of a car is a:

• A. convergent beam
• B. divergent beam
• C. parallel beam
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B

divergent beam

Explanation for correct option:

1. The beam of light coming from the headlight of a car is a divergent beam.
2. Light rays from a point source are moving in all directions with time.
3. Such a beam of light is called a divergent beam of light.

Explanation for incorrect options:

1. When light rays from different points constantly keep coming closer together and finally meet at a point then such beam is called a convergent beam.
2. When a large number of rays travel parallel to each other, then we call such a collection of rays a parallel beam of light Rays.

Hence, the correct answer is option B.
