∙ 13y agoYou mean parallel rays to the principal axis of the concave mirror!
After reflection at the concave surface of the mirror they would get converged at a point on the principal axis of the mirror. This point is known to be the focus.

A ray of light traveling parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror will be reflected out through the mirror's?
focus
What happens when a light ray passes through a focal point and then passes through a covex mirror?
Focal point of which mirror? Because convex mirror would have a virtual focus which is assumed to be at the back of the mirror.
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?
plane mirror
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 path of the ray that approaches a mirror parallel to the principal axis?
It reflects out through the focus.

Describe a path of the light of ray that hits a mirror after passing through its focus?
It is reflected back parallel to the principal axis. (apex)
Describe the path of the light ray that hits a mirror after passing thought its focus?
It goes to "the point at infinity"
What is a reflecting telescope that used a secondary mirror to send light through a hole in the primary mirror is called?
It is called a Cassegrain. The small convex subreflector is a hyperboloid with one focus at the focus of the main mirror, and the other focus just behind the main mirror where the eyepiece is.

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?
plane mirror
What reflecting telescope has a focus which results from a single secondary mirror and which forms through a hole in the primary mirror?
are you doing your science homework?
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 path of the ray that approaches a mirror parallel to the principal axis?
It reflects out through the focus.
What is the line segment perpendicular to the axis of the parabola and passing through the focus?
It does not have a specific name.
