alleryWhat occurs when a collimated parallel beam reflects from a convex mirror?
AIt forms a real point
BIt remains parallel
CIt halts completely
DIt diverges outward
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. It diverges outward
Incident parallel rays spread outward because surface normals vary across the convex curvature.
