Question

Which of the following mirror(s) have curved reflecting surfaces?

• A. Plane mirrors
• B. Concave mirrors
• C. Convex mirrors
• D. Both B and C

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Both B and C

Mirrors are basically of two types, plane mirrors, and spherical mirrors. Plane mirrors have a flat reflecting surface whereas spherical mirrors have curved reflecting surfaces. Spherical mirrors are of two types – concave mirrors and convex mirrors. Concave mirrors have a reflecting surface that is curved inwards, whereas the reflecting surface of convex mirrors bulges outwards.
