Question 6 • (AG Q3) Physical Science: 25-26 (JComunale)

How does a convex mirror form an image?

Answer
A
It bends the light toward a focal point.
B
It bends the light away from a focal point.
C
It bounces the light toward a focal point.
D
It bounces the light away from a focal point.

Explanation

A convex mirror reflects light rays so they spread apart, or diverge, after bouncing off the mirror. The diverging rays appear to come from a virtual focal point behind the mirror, so the mirror bounces light away from a focal point. “Bends” describes refraction, not reflection.
