NEET Physics Question - Ray Optics - Reflection by Plane Mirror

Assertion (A): Law of reflection is applicable for all type of mirrors.

Reason (R): Rays which are parallel to principal axis are known as paraxial rays.

Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)

Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)

(A) is true but (R) is false

Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

Laws of reflection are fundamental and apply to all mirrors, so (A) is true. Paraxial rays are rays close and parallel to the principal axis, so (R) is true. (R) defines a term, it does not explain the universality of reflection laws.
