A light ray is incident along the principal axis of a mirror after reflection ______.

Answer»

retraces its path
passes through CENTER of curvature
makes zero angle with the normal.
All the above.

Solution :The light ray which is incident along the PRINCIPAL axis of a MIRROR falls NORMALLY on the mirror, and hence, it retraces its path.

From the figure it is clear that is passes through the centre of curvature.
As the line passing through the centre of curvature is PERPENDICULAR to the mirror, the angle made by the light ray with the normal is zero.
