प्रश्न
When a spherical mirror is held towards the sun and its sharp image is formed on a piece of a carbon paper for some time, a hole is burnt in the carbon paper.
Why is a hole burnt in the carbon paper?
उत्तर
A concave mirror converges light rays, and in this case it will converge the incoming parallel rays of the sun at its focus. Since the carbon paper was kept at the focus of the concave mirror, the hole was burnt into it.
