   The principal focus of a concave mirror is a point on the principal axis at which a light ray parallel to the principal axis converges after reflection. Light rays that are parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror converge at a specific point on its principal axis after reflecting from the mirror. This point is known as the principal ...

   Definition of Convex Lens. This type of lens is thicker at the centre and thinner at the edges. An optical lens is generally made up of two spherical surfaces. If those surfaces are bent outwards, the lens is called a biconvex lens or simply a convex lens. These types of lenses can converge a beam of light coming from outside and focus it to a ...

   Similarly, for a convex mirror, the reflected ray originates from the focus on the same side as the incident ray. Focus Incidence: When a ray passes through the focus and strikes a concave or convex mirror, the reflected ray will be parallel to the principal axis. This characteristic holds for concave and convex mirrors and is crucial in ...

   The principal focus or focal Point of a spherical mirror is on the axis of a mirror or lens where after reflection or refraction rays of light parallel to the axis converge or begin to converge. If a bunch of rays of light is shined straight at a concave mirror, all of those beams will be mirrored by the mirror and will all meet at one point.

    Principal focus: The incident rays coming parallel to the principal axis after reflection appear to converge to a common point on the principal axis, and this point is called the principal focus of a concave mirror. It is usually denoted by F. Focal length: It is the distance between the pole and the principal focus of the concave mirror. It is ...

    Convex Lenses. When an object is placed at infinity, the real image is formed at the focus. The size of the image is highly diminished and point size. When an object is placed beyond the centre of curvature, the real image is formed between the centre of curvature and focus. The image size will not be the same as the object.
