It reflects out through the focus.
That passes through the principal focus of the concave mirror
A ray of light traveling parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror will be reflected through the focal point of the mirror after reflection.
It is reflected back parallel to the principal axis. (apex)
When light hits a concave mirror parallel to the principal axis, the reflected light rays converge at the focal point of the mirror.
The principal axis of a mirror is an imaginary line that passes through the center of curvature and the vertex of the mirror. Light rays parallel to the principal axis either converge or diverge after reflecting off the mirror.

A ray of light traveling parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror will be reflected and pass through the focal point of the mirror. This is known as the property of a concave mirror called "reflection through the focus."
true
focus
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.
no
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.
The four principal rays of a curved mirror are: the ray parallel to the principal axis that reflects through the focal point after reflection, the ray that passes through the focal point before reflection and becomes parallel to the principal axis after reflection, the ray that passes through the center of curvature and reflects back along the same path, and the ray that strikes the mirror at the center of curvature, reflecting back along the same path.
