Answer 2

Answer:

Any incident ray that approaches a convex mirror while travelling parallel to the major axis will reflect in such a way that its extension will pass through the focal point.

Explanation:

• A mirror with a curved reflecting surface is referred to as a curved or specifically a convex mirror.
• The surface could be concave or convex.
• Although optical systems occasionally employ alternative shapes, most curved mirrors have surfaces that are formed like a portion of a spherical.
• The parallel rays will diverge after being reflected from a convex mirror

The reflected ray is such that it appears to be coming from the focal point of the mirror.
