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 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.


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.


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.


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)

Where you have to be to see an upright image of yourself in concave mirror?

To see an upright image of yourself in a concave mirror you must be closer than the principal focus. Hope this helps.


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 is meant by focus of a concave mirror?

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.


Will an object inside a principal focus be smaller?

No, for a concave mirror the object will become larger. it is virtual the right way up and it is behind the mirror


Where will the image form when you place an object on the principal axis of a concave mirror at a point between focus and centre of curvature?

If the object is placed on the principal axis of a concave mirror at a point between the focus and centre of curvature the image will form beyond the centre of curvature
