MCQ
Assertion : The formula connecting $u,\,v$ and $f$ for a spherical mirror is valid only for mirrors whose sizes are very small compared to their radii of curvature.

Reason : Laws of reflection are strictly valid for plane surfaces, but not for large spherical surface.

  • A
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • B
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
  • D
    If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

Answer

Correct option: C.
If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
c
Assertion is correct. Laws of reflection can  be applied to any type of surface.
