Question

Which of the following is/are correct with respect to the reflection by spherical mirrors?
(A) A concave mirror will diverge the rays of light if the object is placed between the pole and the focus.
(B) A convex mirror can converge a beam of rays.

A.

(A) is only correct

B.

(B) is only correct

C.

Both (A) and (B) are incorrect

D.

(A) and (B) both are correct

Correct option is A

Correct Answer: (a) a is only correct

  • When an object is placed between the pole and the focus of a concave mirror, the reflected rays diverge.
  • These diverging rays, when extended backward, appear to originate from a virtual point behind the mirror, forming a virtual, erect, and magnified image.
  • convex mirror can only diverge light rays. It cannot converge a beam of rays, as the reflected rays always spread out and appear to come from a point behind the mirror.
