A concave mirror is a spherical mirror which is curved inward, where the inside surface is reflective. They work by reflecting the light captured into the centre of the mirror, creating a focal point in the centre of the mirror.

What Is concave mirror complete the given ray diagram and also write its one charactertis of the formed image?

A concave mirror is a curved mirror that curves inward. In a ray diagram for a concave mirror, parallel rays of light that hit the mirror will converge at a point known as the focal point. One characteristic of the image formed by a concave mirror is that it can be real or virtual depending on the object's distance from the mirror.
