The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of how a converging beam of light behaves when it is incident on a concave mirror, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Incident Light**: A converging beam of light means that the rays of light are coming together towards a point. This is typically the case with light rays that are either coming from a point source or are being focused by a lens. 2. **Behavior of Light on a Concave Mirror**: When these converging rays of light hit a concave mirror, they will reflect off the surface of the mirror. According to the laws of reflection, the angle of incidence will equal the angle of reflection. 3. **Focal Point of the Concave Mirror**: A concave mirror has a focal point where parallel rays of light converge after reflection. If the incoming rays are converging towards the focal point, they will reflect off the mirror and continue to converge. 4. **Direction of Reflected Rays**: The reflected rays will continue to converge. If the incoming rays are already converging towards the focal point, they will reflect and pass through the focal point of the mirror. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the reflected light from a concave mirror, when a converging beam of light is incident on it, will also be converging. ### Final Answer: The reflected light will continue to converge after reflecting off the concave mirror. ---
