Question
Complete the following diagrams in figure by drawing the reflected rays for the incident rays 1 and 2 if F is the focus and C is the centre of curvature.
Solution
1. Ray passing through F after reflection becomes parallel to the principal axis.
Ray (2) passing through the centre of curvature travels back (retraces its path) i.e. reflected back along its own path.
