A parallel beam of light after reflection from a mirror converge to a point . The mirror is a CONCAVE MIRROR.
- Concave mirror are a part of spherical mirrors from which they are derived.
- Paraxial rays (parallel rays close to the principal axis) after getting reflected from the mirror converge on a point called the focus.
Reasons why this is not a CONVEX MIRROR?
- In a convex mirror , parallel beams of light after getting reflected diverge away , such that virtual rays meet at the focus behind the mirror.
Image characteristics in CONCAVE MIRROR IN THIS CASE:
- The image is pin-point.
- The image is extensively diminished.
- The image is real.
Hope It Helps.
