Model Answer

The claim is incorrect. The laws of reflection apply to all types of reflecting surfaces, including spherical (curved) mirrors, not just flat mirrors.

Explanation

The textbook explicitly states: "These laws of reflection are applicable to all types of reflecting surfaces including spherical surfaces." Examiners expect students to directly contradict the false claim and state the correct fact. One clear sentence is sufficient for 1 mark.
