Solution

  1. The rays of light passing through the center of curvature of a spherical mirror are reflected back along the same path, i.e., through the center of curvature itself.
  2. In this case angle of incidence and angle of reflection both are 0°.
  3. The rays of light follow the laws of reflection.
