What happens when light hits a concave mirror?

• It converges to a point in front of the mirror.

• It diverges after reflection.

• No image is formed

What is the main difference between diffuse reflection and regular (specular) reflection?

• Diffuse reflection occurs when light reflects off a smooth surface.

• Specular reflection occurs when light reflects off a rough surface.

• Diffuse reflection occurs when light reflects off a rough surface.

• Specular reflection occurs when light scatters in different directions.
