The principal axis of a hyperbola is the straight line joining its two foci.
Because they don't create a perfect 'mirror image' of each other
It can be but in general a reflection in a line produces a 'mirror image'
Wherever a given function crosses either the x-axis (which would be an x-axis intercept), or where the given function crosses the y-axis (which would be a y-axis intercept). Functions sometimes have more than one intercept of either axis, so be careful to check for those.
When reflecting a point over the x-axis, you are essentially changing the sign of the y-coordinate while keeping the x-coordinate the same. So, if the original point has coordinates (x, -y), reflecting it over the x-axis would result in the new coordinates being (x, y). This transformation is a fundamental concept in geometry and can be applied to various shapes and figures to create mirror images across the x-axis.
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 through the focal point of the mirror after reflection.
It is reflected back parallel to the principal axis. (apex)
Any ray that travels parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror will reflect through the mirror's focus after reflection. This is known as the "law of reflection" for concave mirrors.
When light hits a concave mirror parallel to the principal axis, the reflected light rays converge at the focal point of the mirror.
true
When a small object is placed on the principal axis of a concave mirror between the focus and the mirror, a virtual and upright image is formed behind the mirror. The image is magnified and located further away from the mirror than the object.
focus
An inverted and real image is formed by an object placed beyond the center of curvature on the principal axis of a concave mirror. The size of the image will be smaller than the object.
no
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."
Rays which are parallel to the axis of the concave mirror will converge to the focal point.
