Question

The point on which a parallel beam of light rays parallel to the principal axis converge after reflection from a concave mirror is called its ____.

  1. Center of curvature
  2. Principal focus
  3. Pole
  4. Aperture 

hintHint:

Principle focus

The correct answer is: Principal focus


    principle focus of the mirror is defined as a point where all paraxial rays intersect after reflection from the mirror.
    The rays coming parallel to the principal axis of concave mirror converge to a point.
