Solution

The correct option is D

Concave mirror:

  1. Concave refers to the interior of a circle or sphere being rounded or hollowed out. It is also known as a converging mirror.
  2. The center of curvature and the reflecting surface of a concave mirror is on the same side of the mirror.
  3. The focal length is positive because the focus is in front of the mirror.
  4. A concave mirror's image is real, inverted, and enlarged.
  5. They are used in reflecting telescopes, shaving mirrors, torch lights, and other similar devices because they provide a magnified image of the objects.
  6. In the case of a concave mirror, an incident ray parallel to the principal axis is reflected through F.

Hence, Option(D) is correct.
