ical aberration) in the direction of the main axis of the mirror. The light rays subsequently
O A. converge at the focal length. for capacitors.
O B. diverge as though emitted from a point located a distance behind the mirror equal to
the focal length.
O C. are reflected and remain parallel.
O D. converge at the center of the sphere.
