Question
Draw the following diagram in your answer book and show the formation of image of the object AB with the help of suitable rays:
Solution
Using the following rules for image formation:
- A ray of light passing through the centre of curvature of a concave mirror is reflected along the same path, and
- A ray of light passing through the focus of a concave mirror becomes parallel to the principal axis after reflection,
