Question

The parallel rays from the top of a distant tree are incident on a concave mirror forming its image on a screen.




The diagram which shows the image of the tree on the screen correctly is:
(1) A
(2) B
(3) C
(4) D

Answer 1

When the parallel rays from the top of the tree would fall on the mirror, it would converge them on its focus and an image can be formed on the screen. The image formed at the focus of the concave mirror is always real and inverted in nature. So, the image of the tree will also be inverted when obtained on the screen.

Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
