Question
Rays parallel to the principal axis after striking the reflecting side of a convex mirror
Answer: Option D
:
D
Remember, as a rule of thumb, that if parallel rays after falling on any kind of reflecting surface get diverged, they can never actually intersect! And this is what happens in a convex mirror, it is a diverging mirror. So, parallel rays will never meet after getting reflected, but, when extended backwards they will appear to meet behind the mirror, you shall see in later modules that this how they from virtual image.
