A ray of light traveling parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror will be reflected out through the mirrors?

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.

∙ 9y agoYes, it is true that rays traveling parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror will reflect out through the mirrors focus.

∙ 9y agoIf the rays go parallel to the axis of mirror then after reflection the rays would converge at one point. this point is named as FOCUS

A ray of light traveling parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror will be reflected out through the mirror's?
focus
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
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)
Why CONCAVE MIRRORS USED IN TORCH LIGHT?
The concave mirror reflects the bulb's light, and if the bulb is at the mirror's focus, sends it out as a parallel beam.
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.

Can chord is used to find the direction of reflected ray on a concave mirror if rays are parallel to principal axis?
no

Are rays perpendicular to the principal axis of a concave mirror converge at or near the focal point?
It should be parallel. Rays "parallel to the principle axis of a concave mirror converage at or near the focal point.
Can a heptagon be parallel and concave?
No, a heptagon cannot be parallel but two heptagons can.A heptagon can be concave.
What is the difference between parabolic and concave mirrors?
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.
Are concave angles parallel?
Angles cannot be parallel.
Which mirror is called converging mirror?
Parallel rays approaching the mirror are reflected in a converging manner to a focal point.
