The difference between the two is that once the light passes through the concave lens it diverges, and the rays are refracted outward, and never meet a focal point. Then there is the parallel light rays that bounce off the curved surface of a concave mirror and then meet a single point ( focal point).

How does the concept of parallel rays relate to the formation of images in concave mirrors?

The concept of parallel rays is important in understanding how images are formed in concave mirrors. When parallel rays of light hit a concave mirror, they are reflected and converge at a specific point called the focal point. This convergence of rays creates an inverted and real image in front of the mirror. The distance between the mirror and the focal point determines the size and position of the image.


What is the difference between concave and convex shapes?

Concave shapes curve inward, like a cave, while convex shapes curve outward, like a bump.

What ray is parallel to the axis of a concave lens?

A ray parallel to the axis of a concave lens will refract through the lens and appear to have come from the focal point on the same side as the object.


Describe what happen to parallel light rays hitting in a concave mirror?

Parallel light rays hitting a concave mirror will converge to a single focal point after reflection, due to the mirror's inward or converging shape. The focal point is located on the principal axis of the mirror, halfway between the mirror's center and the vertex. This property of concave mirrors is used in applications like focusing light in telescopes and for creating images in reflective devices.


What is the difference between a concave polygon and a convex polygon?

Any polygon that has an angle that is > 180º is a concave polygon. A convex polygon does not. e.g. All regular polygons are convex.
