Question

Which of the following ray diagrams is correct for the ray of light incident on a concave mirror as shown in Figure?

\( \Rightarrow \)

• A.

  

• B.

  

• C.

  

• D.

  

Answer 1

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.
