Question

Identify from the following the ray diagram which shows the correct path of the reflected ray for the ray incident on a concave mirror as shown:

• A.

  

• B.

  

• C.

  

• D.

  

Hint:

In concave mirrors, rays parallel to the principal axis reflect through the focal point.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The diagram shows a ray incident on a concave mirror. The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
- The ray diagram corresponding to option (B) correctly shows the reflected ray after striking the concave mirror at the point where the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Thus, the correct answer is (B).
