What kind of mirror do you have if reflected rays of light pass through the principle focus when light hits a mirror parallel to the principle axis?
plane mirror
What kind of shape is the primary mirror of a reflecting telescope?
The name of this type of instrument is derived from the fact that the primary mirror reflects the light back to a focus instead of refracting it. The primary mirror usually has a concave spherical or parabolic shape, and, as it reflects the light, it inverts the image at the focal plane.
What kind of telescope uses a single large parabolic mirror to gather and focus starlight?
A single-mirror reflector.
What kind of lens would let you focus the sun rays light to start a fire?
A convex lens would focus sunlight to the point that it could start a fire.
O What kind of image do you see using a convex mirror?
we see a diminished and virtual image in a convex mirror provided the object is not kept on the focus of the mirror.
Why is a concave mirror better for gathering light than a plane mirror on a telescope?
-- A concave mirror gathers the light and bunches it up all in one place, called the "focus" of the mirror. There's a "real image" at that place, and you can capture it with a piece of ground glass, tissue, photo-film, or light-sensitive device at that place. -- A plane mirror doesn't gather anything. It just kind of sends the light back toward where it came from. It doesn't form any real image, and there's nothing to capture.
What kind of image is produced in a convex mirror?

The primary mirror of a reflecting telescope is what kind of shape?
It is a paraboloid, which focusses the light from a star down to a single point which can then be looked at through the eye lens or eyepiece.
What are the two kind of mirror in compound microscope?
Convex - which is the flat or the plain mirror and it has the lesser lights to receivebut its has the more light intensity.Concave - which is the curve mirror where the lights to receive is more than the convexbut it has the less light intensity.
What kind of image will light rays directed at convex mirror produce?
it will be called reflection
What kind of mirror would you use to reflect a beam of light at right angles?
a regular
What kind of light bulb is used in the type of bathroom light fixtures that is a row of round lights on top of a mirror?
