Q: Which of the following is/are correct with respect to the reflection by spherical mirrors? A concave mirror will diverge the rays of light if the object is placed between the pole and the focus.A convex mirror can converge a beam of rays.
  • A. (A) is only correct
  • B. (B) is only correct
  • C. both (A) and (B) are incorrect
  • D. (A) and (B) both are correct
Correct Answer: Option A - For the reflection by spherical mirrors, there are two types of mirrors concave mirror and convex mirror. concave mirror is a converging mirror while convex mirror is a diverging mirror. But when the object is placed between the pole and the focus of a concave mirror, the image formed will be erect, enlarged and virtual, which is a divergent ray.
