What is the difference between the way parallel light rays are affected by a concave mirror and a concave lens?

The difference between the two is that once the light passes through the concave lens it diverges, and the rays are refracted outward, and never meet a focal point. Then there is the parallel light rays that bounce off the curved surface of a concave mirror and then meet a single point ( focal point).

Difference between concave and convex in the dark?
concave is inward, convex is outward concave is inward, convex is outward
How can you remember the difference between convex and concave lenses?
A concave surface curves inward. Cave-in
Difference between concave and plano concave?
Concave means that it bows inward (a dent instead of a bulge). Planoconcave means that one side is flat and the other side is concave.
What is the difference property between convex and concave glass?
Convex lens converges the light and a concave lens diverges the light..
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
Difference between concave and convex in the dark?
concave is inward, convex is outward concave is inward, convex is outward
Can a heptagon be parallel and concave?
No, a heptagon cannot be parallel but two heptagons can.A heptagon can be concave.
How can you remember the difference between convex and concave lenses?

Are concave angles parallel?
Angles cannot be parallel.
Difference between concave and plano concave?
Concave means that it bows inward (a dent instead of a bulge). Planoconcave means that one side is flat and the other side is concave.
How many parallel lines does a concave have?
A concave is not a shape. It is a characteristic of one. It is like asking how many parallel lines a small has.
Is a trapezoid concave?
No. A trapezoid has two parallel sides. This is not possible in a concave quadrilateral.
What is the difference property between convex and concave glass?

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
Describe what happen to parallel light rays hitting in a concave mirror?
describe what happens to parallel light rays when they hit a concave mirror
What is a difference between concave mirror and concave lens?
A concave mirror is usually used to project something onto a screen. A concave lens is usually used to view an image through the naked eye.
What is the difference between concave lens and the concave mirror?
Not much except concave mirror reflects and concentrate the light and lens let trough and distorts the light "concave -the inner surface of a sphere." defines the shape of the lens or mirror
