A. 1 and 2
B. 2 and 3

D. 1,2,3

Answer

a

Explanation

A very narrow path of light described by a straight line drawn in direction of propagation of light is called a ray of light. A broader bundle of light rays is called a beam of light. A beam of light consisting of parallel rays of light is called a parallel beam of light. A beam of light consisting of rays diverging from a point source is called a divergent ray of light. A beam of light consisting of rays coming closer to each other, ultimately to meet at a point, is called a convergent beam of light.
