Question

What happens to light when it strikes the inside surface of a smooth, curved mirror? It bounces in random directions. It bounces back toward a single spot. It passes through the mirror and moves in random directions. It passes through the mirror and moves in a straight line.

Answer 1

This is a concave mirror you're talking about, so all of the points are going to converge to a single focal point. Therefore the answer would be that it bounces back toward a single spot

Answer 2

Answer:

It bounces back towards a single spot.

Explanation:

When the light ray strikes to the inner surface of smooth, curved mirror (concave mirror), it bounces back at a single point and the point is called the focal point of the concave mirror.

When a ray of light parallel to principal axis strikes to the concave mirror, then after reflection it goes through the focus, i.e., at a single spot.
