If the light approaches the mirror along the normal (perpendicular to the mirror), then it reflects
back 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.

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.


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 is the principle focus of a concave mirror?

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.


What happens when a source of light is placedat the focal point of a concave mirror?

When a source of light is placed at the focal point of a concave mirror, the light rays will be reflected parallel to the principal axis. This is because in this position, the light rays are reflected back on themselves, resulting in parallel rays.


What kind of mirror do you have if reflected rays of light pass through the principle focus when light hits a mirror parallel to the principle 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.


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.
