Question

A light ray is moving through the center of curvature to hit the reflecting surface of a concave mirror. After reflection, it _____.

  1. Passes through the focus
  2. Appears to diverge from the center of curvature
  3. Passes through the pole
  4. Goes along the incident ray

hintHint:

Goes along the incident ray

The correct answer is: Goes along the incident ray


    the ray of light passes through the center of curvature of a concave mirror it strikes the mirror along the normal ray, its incidences on to the mirror at an angle of 90°. Hence, the incident ray coincides with the normal.
