To draw the principal axis for a concave mirror, start by sketching a horizontal line that represents the principal axis. Then, draw the concave mirror as a curved line facing the incoming light, with the reflective surface on the inside of the curve. Mark the focal point (F) on the principal axis at a distance equal to the focal length from the mirror's surface, and indicate the center of curvature (C) at twice that distance (2F) from the mirror. This principal axis is essential for understanding how light rays reflect off the mirror.

What is principal axis in hyperbola?
The principal axis of a hyperbola is the straight line joining its two foci.
Why are the diagonals of a rectangle not axis of symmetry?
Because they don't create a perfect 'mirror image' of each other
Is the reflection of a figure in the x-axis equivalent to the rotation of that same figure 180 about the orgin?
It can be but in general a reflection in a line produces a 'mirror image'
What is intercept in a graph?
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.
How do you reflect over x axis when y is negative?
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.
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
What is the ray of light traveling parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror that will be reflected out through the 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.
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)
What Rays traveling parellel to the principal axis of a concave mirror will reflect out through the mirrors focus?
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 what do the reflected light rays pass through?
When light hits a concave mirror parallel to the principal axis, the reflected light rays converge at the focal point of the mirror.
Rays traveling parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror will reflect out through the mirror's focus.?
true
When a small object is placed on the principal axis of a concave mirror between the focus and the mirror?
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.
A ray of light traveling parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror will be reflected out through the mirror's?
focus
What kind of image is formed by an object placed beyond the center of curvature on the principal axis of a concave mirror?
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.
A ray of light traveling parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror will be reflected out through the 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."
Can chord is used to find the direction of reflected ray on a concave mirror if rays are parallel to principal axis?
no
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.
