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.
What is the difference between the focus of concave and convex mirror?
the focal point of a concave mirror is positive while a convex is negative
How can a rough value of the focal length of a concave mirror be obtained?
rough focal length of concave mirror
What are the properties of an image seen in a concave mirror if the object is closer to the mirror than the focal point?

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 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.
The distance between a mirror and its focal point is called the?
Focal length, positive number with a concave mirror, negative for a convex mirror.
Why a side mirror is never a concave mirror?
A concave mirror would focus the light back towards the focal point of the mirror. You would not be able to use the mirror effectively with a concave.
What is the difference between the focus of concave and convex mirror?
the focal point of a concave mirror is positive while a convex is negative
The focal point of a concave mirror is 5 cm what is its center of curvature?
10 cm from the mirror.
Are rays perpendicular to the principal axis of a concave mirror converge at or near the focal point?
It should be parallel. Rays "parallel to the principle axis of a concave mirror converage at or near the focal point.
How can a rough value of the focal length of a concave mirror be obtained?
rough focal length of concave mirror

What happens when light hits a concave mirror?
the light rays will be directed into a focal point
How does a concave mirror work?
A concave mirror is a spherical mirror which is curved inward, where the inside surface is reflective. They work by reflecting the light captured into the centre of the mirror, creating a focal point in the centre of the mirror.
If the surface of a concave mirror is made more curved what happens to its focal length?
A concave mirror is a spherical mirror with a reflective inside surface. When the reflective surface is made more curved, the distance between the focal point and the surface increases. A concave mirror can form both virtual or real images.
