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
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.
What creates an image that is reflected through a focal point?
a convex lens
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)

When a nearby item is reflected in this type of mirror it appears magnified?
It becomes magnified with a concave mirror
A light beam striking a concave inward curve mirror reflects and?
converges on a point
Which mirror makes you look elongated?
A concave mirror will give an elongated appearance. When a mirror curves inward it becomes concave and makes one look elongated and thinner because of the way the light is reflected off the mirror.
Which mirror is called converging mirror?
Parallel rays approaching the mirror are reflected in a converging manner to a focal point.
What is happening to light when it is being reflected?
The light bends. Depending on whether it is a concave or convex mirror, the light is either being refracted or reflected
Can chord is used to find the direction of reflected ray on a concave mirror if rays are parallel to principal axis?
no
Is concave mirror in shape of parabola?
no concave mirror is in shape of concave mirror
