Question

In the case of a concave mirror, show the path of the reflected path when the incident ray of light

1) is parallel to the principal axis of the mirror.
2) passes through the focus of the mirror.
3) passes through the centre of curvature of the mirror.

which one is the correct answer?? ​

Answer 1

For an incident ray, parallel to the principal axis, the reflected ray passes through the focus for a concave mirror.

The focal point is the location where light rays traveling parallel to the principal axis converge after reflection from the concave mirror.
