Question

Draw a ray diagram to show the path of the reflected ray corresponding to an incident ray of light parallel to the principal axis of a convex mirror and show the angle of incidence and angle of reflection on it.

A ray of light is incident on a convex mirror as shown. Redraw the diagram and complete the path of this ray after reflection from the mirror. Mark angle of incidence and angle of reflection on it.

Answer 1

Answer 2

A light ray is incident on a convex mirror parallel to the principal axis. The ray diagram is shown below.

In the above diagram, ‘i’ is the angle of incidence, ‘r’ is the angle of reflection, 'F' is the Focus, 'C' is the Centre of Curvature and 'P' is the Pole.
