NEET Physics: Class 12, Chapter 10: Wave Optics questions with solutions

Q1. The rays of light, which are not paralle to each other and spread out from a point, are called and a bundle of rays, which are parallel to one another, is called

1. parallel beam of light, convergent rays
2. divergent rays, convergent rays
3. convergent rays, parallel beam of light
4. divergent rays, parallel beam of light

Answer: divergent rays, parallel beam of light

Rays that spread out from one point are called divergent rays. A bundle of rays that remain parallel to each other is called a parallel beam of light.
