Solution

The correct option is A

angular aperture


Correct Answer- A

The angle at which the periphery of the spherical mirror subtends at the center of curvature is called the angular aperture.

Incorrect answers

B- The glancing angle is the angle formed by the incident ray on a planar surface and the surface itself.

A beam of electrons striking the crystal is an example of a glancing angle.

B- The critical angle is the angle of incidence that produces a 90-degree angle of refraction.

So, the correct answer is (A) angular aperture.
