Which of the following correctly describes how particular type of mirror reflects light? Convex mirrors reflect light to a central point (converging). Concave mirrors reflect light to a central point (converging). Concave mirrors reflect light so the light spreads out (diverging).

Answer:

Concave mirrors reflect light to a central point (converging)

Suppose the source is to the left of the  mirror in  question.

Parallel rays into the mirror are always reflected towards the focal point.

In the case of a concave mirror the real parallel rays pass thru the focal point.

If the mirror is convex the rays will diverge to the left and act as if they were emanating from the focal point to the right of the mirror.
