The direction of ray of light incident on a concave mirror is shown by PQ while directions in which the ray would travel after reflection is shown by four rays marked 1, 2, 3 and 4 (figure). Which of the four rays correctly shows the direction of reflected ray?

                              

1. 1

2. 2

3. 3

4. 4

(2) Hint: Use the laws of reflection.

The PQ ray of light passes through focus F and incident on the concave mirror, after reflection, should become parallel to the principal axis and shown by ray-2 in the figure.
