When rays parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror are reflected the pass though?
That passes through the principal focus of the concave mirror
A ray of light traveling parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror will be reflected out through the mirror's?
focus
Describe the path of the light ray that hits a mirror after passing through its focus?
It is reflected back parallel to the principal axis. (apex)
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.
A ray of light traveling parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror will be reflected out through the mirrors?
If the light approaches the mirror along the normal (perpendicular to the mirror), then it reflectsback in the same direction from which it came.In that event, the angle of reflection is still equal to the angle of incidence . . . they're both zero.

Why is the ray of light parallel to the principal axis passes through the focus?
Well this only occurs if the lens is parabolic. It is just a fundamental feature of a parabola to reflected an incident ray parallel to the principal axis through the focal point. That is why lenses etc are parabolic. I dont know if this answers your question (it probably doesnt) but oh well...
Which light rays striking a concave mirror are reflected so that they pass through the focal point?
The tendency in case of concave lens would be diverging one. When parallel rays fall one side of the concave lens then due to divergence they appear to come, note down that "they appear to come" from a point on the same side. And this point is named as the virtual focus of the concave lens. Now as a ray passes through this virtual focal point that will be definitely a diverging one. Now due to diverging action of the lens, that ray will be further diverged and that will appear to come from a virtual point on the same side and some what nearer to the concave lens. Hence the image will be virtual and diminished and erect one.
What are facts about concave lenses?
a lens such that a parallel beam of light passing through it is caused to diverge or spread out
What creates an image that is reflected through a focal point?
a convex lens
