Assertion: If a ray of light is incident on a convex mirror along its principal axis, then the angle of incidence as well as the angle of reflection for a ray of light will be zero. Reason: A ray of light going towards the centre of curvature of a convex mirror is reflected back along the same path.

Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion
- If a ray of light is incident on a convex mirror along its principal axis, then the angle of incidence, as well as the angle of reflection for a ray of light, will be zero. Using the laws of reflection, When the light ray is incident normally, then both angles of incidence and reflection become zero.
- A ray of light going towards the centre of curvature of a convex mirror is reflected along the same path because it is perpendicular to the surface of the mirror at the point of incidence. The light ray retraces as it is.
- Hence, both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
