NEET Physics Mirrors MCQ Question
Consider a concave mirror with its principal axis labeled as the x-axis. A parallel beam of light is incident on this mirror. Describe the behavior of the reflected rays and identify the point where they converge.
The reflected rays converge at a point F on the principal axis.
The reflected rays converge at the pole P of the mirror.
The reflected rays diverge and do not meet on the principal axis.
The reflected rays appear to converge behind the mirror.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In a concave mirror, a parallel beam of light incident close to the pole reflects and converges at a point on the principal axis known as the focal point, F.
