A reflected ray will follow the same path but in reverse direction when it passes through pole and _____.

The correct answer is perpendicular to the focal plane.

Key Points:

• The mirror surface will always be struck perpendicularly by a ray passing through the centre of curvature.
• As a result, both the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are zero.
• As a result, the light ray will essentially go in the same direction.
• If you can extend the path to the centre of curvature, this also applies to convex mirrors.

Additional Information:

• Different kinds of images can be created by shifting the object's position in the concave mirror.
• When an object is positioned, various images are created:
  • Towards infinity.
  • Past the point of curvature.
  • In the centre of the curve.
  • Between the major focus and the centre of curvature.
  • The primary emphasis.
  • Between the pole and main focus.
