Why is light from stars and planets considered to be parallel light?
The Sun, planets and stars are extremely far away from us ; hence, the rays reaching us diverge only very slightly. This results in parallel light rays, for all practical purposes.
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.
In order to form an image as seen in a mirror in what order must light rays reflect?

Why doesn't moon shine as bright as the sun?
the moons light is reflected from the suns rays from a long distance like a mirror and a light you try it for yourself
Why are objects in the mirror reversed?
Because the rays of light are reflected from the mirror at certain angles like a snooker ball off the wall. It only comes straight back if you shoot it perfectly straight. Thus light rays coming from one side appear to be at an equal distance away on the opposite side.
Do Light Rays converge or diverge?
Light rays converge as well as diverge. it depends upon the type of lens or mirror you pass it through. A concave lens or a convex mirror diverges the light whereas a convex lens or a concave mirror converges the light rays!
What mirrors cause light rays to diverge?
convex mirror
A convex mirror will make light rays more what?
"A convex mirror is sometimes referred to as a divergingmirror due to the fact that incident light originating from the same point and will reflect off the mirror surface and diverge."So, a convex mirror will reflect and diverge (scatter) the incident light rays (it produces a virtual image), while a convex lens will do the opposite. It will converge light rays passing through it.
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
True or false rays reflected from a convex mirror always converge?
False, diverge
What happens to parallel light rays hitting a convex mirror?
Due to the positive curvature of a convex mirror, when parallel light rays hit the mirror, they are reflected outward (they diverge). As such, convex mirrors are often used for security in convenient stores and other places...because they allow for a wide area to be reflected in the mirror, allowing you to see a wide area when you look at the mirror.
What kind of lens which diverges light rays?
Concave lens would diverge the rays.
What are the functions of concave lens?
To diverge the light rays that pass through it.
What rays can be reflected on a mirror?
light rays
What causes light rays passing through it to diverge?
double concave lens
When an object is placed near a screen why is there no image formed?
This is due to the way that light rays bend. When the image is close to the screen, the light rays reflect off the mirror and do not converge or diverge. Rather than travel perpendicular to each other, the light rays travel parallel?æto each other. This does not allow an image to form.
What is a virtual image?
In optics, a virtual image is an image in which the outgoing rays from a point on the object never actually intersect at a visable point. However, if these rays were stretched out they would intersect at a point behind the mirror/surface.
