प्रश्न
If a spherical mirror breaks, what type of mirrors are the individual pieces?

उत्तर
After the breakdown of the spherical mirror, each piece of the mirror is the same type of original mirror (concave/convex), as the reflective background and curvature have no differences in radius.

In the following figure shows a concave mirror with its pole (P), focus (F) and centre of curvature (C). Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of the image of an object AB by the concave mirror.
