प्रश्न
A spherical mirror and a thin spherical lens have each a focal length of -15 cm. The mirror and the lens are likely to be ______.
पर्याय
both concave
both convex
the mirror is concave and the lens is convex
the mirror is convex, but the lens is concave
उत्तर
A spherical mirror and a thin spherical lens have each a focal length of -15 cm. The mirror and the lens are likely to be both concave.
Explanation:
By convention, the focal length of a concave mirror and the focal length of a concave lens are taken as negative. Hence, both the spherical mirror and the thin spherical lens are concave in nature.

To construct a ray diagram we use two rays of light which are so chosen that it is easy to determine their directions after reflection from the mirror. Choose these two rays and state the path of these rays after reflection from a concave mirror.
