We know that parallel light rays which are inclined to the principal axis of a spherical mirror, after reflection converge at a point in the focal plane of the mirror. With this knowledge explain how you will trace the reflected ray for incident ray PQ shown in the Fig. F is focus and C is centre of curvature of the mirror.
