Hiiii....

When parallel rays strike on canvave mirror from infinity they focused at focus after reflection......

R = 40 ...

Hence ... f = R / 2 = 20 cm ......

Hi !

Radius of curvature = R = 40 cm

When an incident ray hits the mirror , and is parallel to the principal axis, then the rays would be reflected back by passing through the focus(f)

We know that,

R = 2f

hence,

f = R/2
 
 = 40/2

= 20 cm

At a distance of 20 cm from the mirror, the parallel beam of light would be focused , after reflection.
