Define principle focus of a concave mirror?
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 focus of the concave mirror.

The principle focus of concave mirror is a point on its principle axis to which all the light rays which are parallel and close to the axis, converge after reflection from the mirror.
Uses of convex mirrors:
(1) Convex mirrors are used in rear view mirror in vehicles because the mirror can diverge a of light and create a virtual image.
(2) Convex mirrors are used as reflectors in street lamps to diverge light over a larger area.
