Answer: A ray of light passing through the centre of curvature of a concave mirrorretraces its path (gets reflected along the same path), because as the ray of light passes through centre of curvature of a concave mirror it strikes the mirror alongthe normal i.e. it incidences on to the mirrorat 90 degree.

A ray of light passing through the centre of curvature of a concave mirror gets reflected along the same path because when ray of light passes through centre of curvature of a concave mirror it strikes the mirror at 90 degree that is incident ray coincides normal therefore angle of incidence = 0 so, according to law of reflection angle of reflection = 0 thus ray of light retraces its path.
