When rays from infinity come in parallel to the optical axis of a spherical mirror, they are bent so that they either converge and intersect in at a point, or they seem to diverge from a point. The point of convergence or divergence is called the focus.
Q. How can we find focal length quickly but approximately?
When the object is at a considerable distance ( or at infinity) from a concave mirror, then its image is formed at the focus. This fact can be used to find out the focal length of a concave mirror quickly but approximately.

Q. How do you find the 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.
Q. What is the focus of convex mirror?
The point on the principle axis at which all the rays coming parallel to the principle axis appears to meet or diverge from it, is called focus of convex mirror.
Q. What is the principal focus of a convex and concave mirror?
The principal focus of a convex lens is defined as the point on which the principal axis of the light is parallel to the principal axis that converges after the refraction from the lens. The principal focus of concave lens is when the light rays get diverged and appear to form a single point.
Q. What is the difference between the principal focus of the convex and concave mirror?
Concave mirrors reflect light inward to one focal point. They are used to focus light. Unlike convex mirrors, concave mirrors show different image types depending on the distance between the object and the mirror. This point is known as the principal focus of the concave mirror.
Q. What is the other name for principal focus?
focal point in British English noun. 1. Also called: principal focus, focus. the point on the axis of a lens or mirror to which parallel rays of light converge or from which they appear to diverge after refraction or reflection.
Q. What is the principal focus of convex lens?
Principal focus of a convex lens: It is a point on the principal axis of the convex lens where all the light rays parallel to the principal axis converge after passing through the lens. If the light rays are coming from left hand side they will converge at right hand side of the lens and vice versa.
Q. Where is the principal focus of a concave lens?
A concave lens is thinner in the middle than it is at the edges. This causes parallel rays to diverge . They separate but appear to come from a principle focus on the other side of the lens.
Q. What is second principal focus of a convex lens?
Answer: (B) Second principal focus and second focal length : It is a fixed point on the principal axis such that the light rays incident parallel to the principal axis, after refraction through the lens, either converge to this point (in convex lens) or appear to diverge from this point (in concave lens).
