Answer 1

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.
