    Question

    What is the concept of spherical mirrors?

    A.

    Reflection of light

    B.

    Radiation of light

    C.

    Scattering of light

    D.

    Refraction of light

    Correct option is A

    The correct answer is (a) Reflection of light.
    · Spherical mirrors work on the concept of reflection of light. They are curved mirrors with a reflecting surface that is either concave (curved inward) or convex (curved outward).
    · When light rays strike the surface of a spherical mirror, they are reflected according to the laws of reflection. For concave mirrors, reflected rays can converge at a point, while for convex mirrors, they diverge.
    · These mirrors are used in various applications like headlights, telescopes, and shaving mirrors due to their ability to focus or spread light.
    Information Booster:
    · Concave Mirrors: These mirrors have an inward-curved reflecting surface. They converge parallel light rays to a focal point and are used in applications like reflecting telescopes, headlights, and shaving mirrors.
    · Convex Mirrors: These mirrors have an outward-curved reflecting surface. They diverge parallel light rays and provide a wider field of view, making them ideal for use in vehicle rear-view mirrors.
