Question

Draw a ray diagram to show the path of the reflected ray in each of the following cases. A ray of light incident on a convex mirror (a) strikes at its pole making an angle Q from the principal axis (b) is directed towards the principal focus (c) is parallel to its principal axis

Answer 1

a) A ray of light which is incident at the pole of a convex mirror is reflected back making the same angle with the principal axis .

b) A ray a light going towards the focus of a convex mirror becomes parallel to the principal Axis after reflection .

c) A ray of light which is parallel to the principal axis of a convex mirror appears to be coming from its focus after reflection from a mirror
