No such term vertex being used in concave mirror. We would say by the term 'pole' of the mirror.

Or optic center of the mirror.

Of course vertex is used in case of parabola. Following this we may use vertex synonym to the pole or optic centre of the concave mirror

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.

Why inner curved surface is known as Concave mirror?

Inner curved surface is known as concave mirror because inner side of the spherical mirror is polished to reflect the light is called concave mirror,and concave mirror is know because concave mirror converges parallel beam of light.


A mirror that curves inwards?

Such a mirror is concave.


Why a side mirror is never a concave mirror?

A concave mirror would focus the light back towards the focal point of the mirror. You would not be able to use the mirror effectively with a concave.

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.


A mirror that's curves outward?

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.
