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


Why convex mirror has virtual focus?

The convex mirror diverges light rays, so if you draw the reflected rays in front of the mirror and continue drawing them at the back of the mirror the virtual light rays (at the back of the mirror) will join. This point is called a Virtual Focus Point.


What kind of mirror focus light rays to a point?

A parabolic mirror would do the job.


What mirror causes light rays to converge?

concave mirror and convex lens can be used to focus light rays. they are also called converging mirror and lens respectively. They focus the light at a distance of its focal length.


What is the principal focus of convex mirror?

It is the point at which all the light rays seem to converge in the case of convex mirror.


Which explains how a plane mirror works?

light rays reflect off an object, strike the mirror, and are reflected into your eyes.


Which factor most influence image produce by concave mirror?

A concave mirror cause light rays to converge at the focus


Define the principal focus of a concave mirror?

It is the point at which all light rays seem to diverge from in the case of a concave mirror


All images in plane mirriors are?

The images in a plane mirror are created by light rays. This makes the image to become virtual.


Why is the focal points of a convex lens is real and concave is virtual?

The convex mirror diverges light rays, so if you draw the reflected rays in front of the mirror and continue drawing them at the back of the mirror the virtual light rays (at the back of the mirror) will join. This point is called a Virtual Focus Point.


What is a focus of the lens?

The distance at which the light rays bent by the lens (or mirror) converge into a coherent image.


What mirror will diverge light rays?

Light rays will be diverged by a convex mirror.
