Answer the following:
Describe how light rays behave when they fall on a convex or concave mirror in each of the following cases:
1. A ray is parallel to the principal axis.
2. A ray passes through the principal focus.
3. A ray is oblique and strikes the pole.
4. A ray passes through the center of curvature.
1. A ray is parallel to the principal axis.
2. A ray passes through the principal focus.
3. A ray is oblique and strikes the pole.
4. A ray passes through the center of curvature.
1. Whenever an and strikes a convex mirror, it becomes and following laws of reflection from the mirror.
2. Whenever an incoming ray strikes a concave mirror while travelling through its primary focus, it must be .
3. Whenever an incident ray is oblique towards the primary axis and strikes the pole of a convex mirror, it must be .
4. Whenever an incoming ray passes through the center of curvature (C) of a convex mirror, it is along the path.
