Given below are two statements: Statement I : The laws of reflection hold true at every point for all reflecting surfaces, including rough and curved surfaces. Statement II : A plane mirror can never form a real image under any circumstances. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

Options

  1. AStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
  2. BStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
  3. CBoth Statement I and Statement II are correct
  4. DBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect

Correct answer

A. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

Step-by-step solution

Statement I is correct because the laws of reflection are fundamental and apply to all types of reflecting surfaces at each point of incidence, regardless of whether the surface is smooth, rough, flat, or curved. Statement II is incorrect because a plane mirror can form a real image if the incident rays are converging. The point where the converging rays would meet behind the mirror acts as a virtual object, and the mirror forms a real image in front of it. Therefore, Statement I is correct but Statement II is inco
