Question
What phenomenon occurs when parallel rays striking a spherical mirror do not all converge at exactly the same place due to a large curvature of the mirror?
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Page 20 defines this phenomenon: 'Parallel rays striking a spherical mirror do not all converge at exactly the same place if the curvature of the mirror is large; this is called spherical aberration.'
Hint
The term relates to the shape of the mirror causing the focusing issue.
