Explain the ray diagram for image obtained for concave mirror by considering three rays.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts


Figure shows the ray diagram considering three rays.
It shows the image A.B. of an object AB formed by a concave mirror.
Number of rays emanate from any source in all directions. Thus, point A. is image point of A if every ray originating at point A and falling on the concave mirror after reflection passes through the point A..
