Which of the following can make a parallel beam of light when light from a point source is incident on it? 

(A) Concave mirror as well as convex lens. 

(B) Convex mirror as well as concave lens. 

(C) Two plane mirrors placed at 90° to each others. 

(D) Concave mirror as well as concave lens. 

 

Answer - 

Only converging lens and converging mirror can make a parallel beam of light incident on a point.

  • Concave mirror is a converging mirror.
  • Convex lenses converge to light rays, hence convex lenses are also called converging lenses .
