Question

The surface of the spoon which is curved inwards can be approximated to be ($a$) .......... mirror and the surface of the spoon which is bulged outwards can be approximated to ($b$) ......... mirror.

• A. $\left(a\right)=convex,\left(b\right)=concave$
• B. $\left(a\right)=concave,\left(b\right)=convex$
• C. $\left(a\right)=convexoconvex,\left(b\right)=concavoconcave$
• D. $\left(a\right)=concavocanvex,\left(b\right)=convexoconcave$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$\left(a\right)=concave,\left(b\right)=convex$

$ConvexMirror$ is a curved mirror where the reflective surface bulges out, towards the light source.

$ConcaveMirror$ is a curved mirror where the reflective surface is curved inwards.

Therefore, the surface of the spoon which is curved inwards can be approximated to be Concave mirror.
The surface of the spoon which is bulged outwards can be approximated to be Convex mirror.

Hence, the correct answer is OPTION B.
