A ray of light moving parallel to the x -axis gets reflected from a parabolic mirror whose equation is 
After reflection, the ray must pass through the point
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
The equation of the axis of the parabola is 
, which is parallel to the x -axis. So, a ray parallel to x -axis is parallel to the axis of the parabola. We know that any ray parallel to the axis of a parabola passes through the focus after reflection. Here (0, 2) is the focus
