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.

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.
• A 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.
