Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
To solve the problem, we need to identify the type of spherical mirror whose reflecting surface is curved outward.
1. Types of Spherical Mirrors:
There are two main types of spherical mirrors based on the direction of the curvature of their reflecting surfaces:
- Concave Mirror: The reflecting surface is curved inward (shaped like a bowl).
- Convex Mirror: The reflecting surface is curved outward (shaped like the outside of a sphere).
2. Conclusion:
The spherical mirror whose reflecting surface is curved outward is called a convex mirror.
Final Answer:
The correct answer is (A) Convex mirror.
