The point at which light rays intersect when they are reflected off a concave mirror is called?

If several light rays enter a concave parabolic mirror parallel to each other and
to the axis of the mirror, then they'll all converge at the focus of the mirror.
If they enter the mirror from a variety of directions, then there's no telling whether
they might intersect, or where.

Explain the difference between the concave mirror and convex mirror?
A convex mirror bulges out. A concave mirror curves inward.For a convex mirror, light rays are reflected to meet at a point, while, for a concave mirror, light rays seem to be reflected from a point. If the incident rays were paraxial, the reflected rays are reflected to meet at, or appear to be reflected to a point referred to as the focal point of the lens. For a convex mirror, the focal point is real, while, that of a concave lens is virtual.
Which mirror is called converging mirror?
Parallel rays approaching the mirror are reflected in a converging manner to a focal point.
When rays parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror are reflected the pass though?
That passes through the principal focus of the concave mirror
A ray of light traveling parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror will be reflected out through the mirror's?
focus
Which light rays striking a concave mirror are reflected so that they pass through they focal point?
Rays which are parallel to the axis of the concave mirror will converge to the focal point.

When a nearby item is reflected in this type of mirror it appears magnified?
It becomes magnified with a concave mirror
Which light rays striking a concave mirror are reflected so that they pass through they focal point?
Rays which are parallel to the axis of the concave mirror will converge to the focal point.
Which mirror makes you look elongated?
A concave mirror will give an elongated appearance. When a mirror curves inward it becomes concave and makes one look elongated and thinner because of the way the light is reflected off the mirror.
When the surface of a mirror curves inward is called?
it is called concave mirror
Why inner curved surface is known as Concave mirror?
Inner curved surface is known as concave mirror because inner side of the spherical mirror is polished to reflect the light is called concave mirror,and concave mirror is know because concave mirror converges parallel beam of light.
What generalization can you make regarding the nature of the images formed by a concave mirror?
The incoming light will intersect at a focal point determined by parabolic curve of the mirror.
When the surface of a mirror curves inward it is called what?
Concave mirror
When the surface of a mirror curves inward is a?
it is called concave mirror
