Briefly explain the three different types of light beams.

Dear student

There are two types of light beams namely parallel and non-parallel. 

1) Parallel beam: When the rays of light travel parallel to each other in the same direction parallel to each other.

Example: Sun rays entering into a room through a window.

2) Non-parallel: When light rays are not parallel to each. These are convergent and divergent beams.

1. Convergent beam are those rays of light coming from different directions, get closer and meet at a point.

Example: The rays of sun on reflection from a concave mirror.

3} Divergent beam are those rays of light originating from a point travel in different directions.

Examples : The rays coming out of a car headlamp.
