Angle of incidence is 0° because light ray is travelling along the normal and angle of incidence is the angle between the light ray and the normal.
If the incident ray falls normally on the surface, no bending of light ray takes place. So, the angle of refraction is also 0°.

“A concave mirror of focal length ‘f’ can form a magnified erect as well as an inverted image of an object placed in front of it.” Justify this statement stating the position of the object with respect to the mirror in each case for obtaining these images.
Describe with a suitable diagram, how a convex mirror diverges a parallel beam of light rays. Mark clearly the pole, focus and centre of curvature of convex mirror in this diagram.
