Question

A light ray moving parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror hits its surface. After reflection it _____.

  1. Passes through the focus
  2. Passes through the center of curvature
  3. Passes through the pole
  4. Goes along the incident ray

hintHint:

Passes through the focus

The correct answer is: Passes through the focus


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