(a) Parallel rays of light are reflected by a concave mirror to a point called the _______.

(b) The focal length of a concave mirror is the distance from the _______ to the mirror.

(c) A concave mirror _______ rays of light whereas convex mirror_______ rays of light

(d) For a convex mirror, parallel rays of light appear to perge from a point called the _______.


(a) Parallel rays of light are reflected by a concave mirror to a point called the focus.

(b) The focal length of a concave mirror is the distance from the focus to the mirror.

(c) A concave mirror converges rays of light whereas convex mirror diverges rays of light.

(d) For a convex mirror, parallel rays of light appear to diverge from a point called the focus.


Explanation

In a concave mirror, the parallel rays of light converge to a point called the focus (F), after getting reflected from the mirror.

In a convex mirror, the parallel rays of light diverge from a point called the focus (F), after getting reflected from the mirror.
