∙ 12y agoThe mirror is a concave mirror. This behavior is a property of concave mirrors, where parallel rays of light are reflected and converge at the principal focus after reflection.
A ray of light traveling parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror will be reflected through the focal point of the mirror after reflection.
When rays parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror are reflected, they converge at the focal point.
When light hits a concave mirror parallel to the principal axis, the reflected light rays converge at the focal point of the mirror.

Light rays parallel to the principal axis striking a concave mirror are reflected so that they pass through the focal point.

The principle focus of a concave mirror is the point at which parallel rays of light converge or appear to diverge from after being reflected. It is where the reflected rays meet if extended backward.
Parallel rays are reflected by a mirror such that they remain parallel after reflection. This is due to the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
The focus of a concave mirror is the point on its optical axis where light rays parallel to the axis converge after being reflected.
It is reflected back parallel to the principal axis. (apex)
A ray of light traveling parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror will be reflected and pass through the focal point of the mirror. This is known as the property of a concave mirror called "reflection through the focus."

A convex mirror produces a virtual image, because the principle light rays incident on the mirror surface from the object must pass through the focal point on the other side of the mirror (virtually), and so the image appears at a depth behind the mirror's surface. The three principle rays that form the focused image are: 1. The ray from the top of the object, parallel to the line passing through the center of the convex mirror, must pass through the focal point behind the mirror's surface. 2. The ray that passes from the top of the object and through the focal point in front of the mirror, comes through the mirror (virtually) parallel to the center line. 3. The ray that passes from the top of the object to the point where the surface of the mirror and the center line intersect, the reflection of which is traced back through the mirror's surface at the same angle as the reflected angle. The place behind the mirror where these rays intersect is the placement of the virtual image.
