MCQ

In image formation from spherical mirrors, only paraxial rays are considered because they:

  • A
    Are easy to handle geometrically.
  • B
    Contain most of the intensity of the incident light.
  • C
    Form nearly a point image of a point source.
  • D
    Show minimum dispersion effect.
✓

Answer

  1. Form nearly a point image of a point source.

Explanation:

In Image formation from spherical mirrors, only paraxial rays are considered because they form nearly a point Image of a point source. Angle of Incidence of Paraxial rays is very small.
