Question
The laws of reflection hold good for(a) plane mirror only(b) concave mirror only(c) convex mirror only(d) all mirrors irrespective of their shape
Solution
The laws of reflection hold good for (d) all mirrors irrespective of their shape.
Here's why:
The two laws of reflection are:
- The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
- The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal to the surface of the mirror all lie in the same plane.
These laws are applicable to all types of mirrors (plane, concave, convex) and not just specific to one. The difference in the types of mirrors comes in the way they reflect light due to their shape, but they all still follow the basic laws of reflection.
