Rays of light parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror will appear to converge on a point in front of the mirror somewhere between the mirror's pole and its center of curvature. That makes this a converging mirror and the point where the rays converge is called the focal point or focus.

if you are satisfy with my ans then mark me as a brainlist.

if there is something wrong then kindly rectify it.


aniaaru263: What I am asking is not the case when the light rays are parallel to principal axis, my question is, if the mirror is taken to be a circle, and a light ray is tangential to the mirror (contacting at just one point) what would happen?

When parallel rays of lightstrike the mirror, they are reflected in a way wherein they spread out or diverge.

It always forms a virtual , erect and diminished image

hopes it's helps uh ❗ ❗
