Question

Which type of spherical mirror does the inner surface and the outer surface of a polished spoon act as?

• A. Inner - concave; Outer - convex
• B. Inner - concave; Outer - concave
• C. Inner - convex; Outer - concave
• D. Inner - convex; Outer - convex

Answer 1

The correct option is A Inner - concave; Outer - convex

A spherical mirror is a mirror with a curved reflecting surface. The surface may be either convex (bulging outward) or concave (bulging inward). The inner surface of a spoon acts as a concave mirror and the outer surface of the spoon acts as a convex mirror.
