It should be parallel. Rays "parallel to the principle axis of a concave mirror converage at or near the focal point.
concave mirror and convex lens can be used to focus light rays. they are also called converging mirror and lens respectively. They focus the light at a distance of its focal length.
A converging mirror is also referred to as a concave mirror. Its reflecting surface curves inwards and usually forms a virtual image. Whereas, a diverging mirror's reflecting surface is curved outwards and can form both real and virtual images.
b....concave b....concave
Your right! You see technically we see up side down but with the light we see right side up so what that means is yes it is upside down. Well, since the brain doesn't turn it "right side up" it could be either way that you look at it.
concave mirror
That passes through the principal focus of the concave mirror
When light hits a concave mirror parallel to the principal axis, the reflected light rays converge at the focal point of the mirror.
The principal focus of a concave mirror is the specific point where parallel rays of light converge or appear to diverge after being reflected. It is located halfway between the mirror's surface and its center of curvature.
The focus of a concave mirror is the point where parallel rays of light converge after reflecting off the mirror. It is located along the principal axis, halfway between the vertex and the center of curvature of the mirror. Rays of light that are parallel to the principal axis will reflect and converge at the focus.
The principle focus of a concave mirror is the point at which parallel rays of light converge or appear to diverge from after being reflected. It is where the reflected rays meet if extended backward.
The mirror that causes parallel incident rays of light to converge at the focus is a concave mirror. This type of mirror is curved inward and has a reflective surface that causes light rays to converge towards a focal point when they strike the mirror parallel to its principal axis.
The mirror is a concave mirror. This behavior is a property of concave mirrors, where parallel rays of light are reflected and converge at the principal focus after reflection.
Rays which are parallel to the axis of the concave mirror will converge to the focal point.
The center of curvature in a concave mirror is important because it is the point where the mirror's surface is perfectly curved. Light rays that are parallel to the mirror's principal axis and strike the mirror will either converge or diverge at this point, depending on the mirror's shape. This point helps determine the focal length and image formation in concave mirrors.
A ray of light traveling parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror will be reflected and pass through the focal point of the mirror. This is known as the property of a concave mirror called "reflection through the focus."
A concave mirror cause light rays to converge at the focus
In the case of concave mirrors parallel rays, parallel to the principal axis and incident near the pole(axial rays), after reflection will converge to the principal focus.Rays reflected from the marginal portions of the mirror(marginal rays) will converge to points nearer than the focus. Due to this the image formed by a concave mirror of large aperture will be blurred. This defect is called spherical aberration. This defect can be overcome by using parabolic mirrors. In a parabolic mirror all the rays, axial rays as well as the marginal rays, incidenting on it after reflection will converge to the same principal focus. This is due to the geometric property of the parabola, that is parabola allows only one focus.Hence in a parabolic mirror there is no spherical aberration and the image will be sharp and clear.
