Converging Mirror or Concave Mirror
Concave Mirror can be considered as a part of a sphere. Consider a hollow glass sphere and cut a piece of the sphere as shown in the figure. The cut off piece has two surfaces, one which is bulging out or convex surface and other is a hollow surface that is on the same side as the centre of the original sphere is called as concave surface.
If we polish the bulging surface or convex surface with silver and look at it from the hollow side or concave surface, we have a concave mirror. These mirrors, which are referred to as convergent mirrors, concentrate the light rays, coming parallel to the principal axis causing them to converge on to a point known as the focal point. Concave mirrors form real images that can be projected on to a screen if the object is farther away than the focal point. The image obtained is large if formed near the focal point or small if formed far away from the focal point. In both cases, the image is reversed. If we place the object closer than the focal point, the image is formed upright and large but virtual (i.e., it cannot be projected).
Reflection Through Concave Mirror :
When a narrow beam of light traveling parallel to the principal axis is incident on the reflecting surface of a concave mirror,as shown in the figure, each ray is reflected according to the laws of reflection and converge to a point F on the principal axis known as the focus. As the rays are converging after reflection the concave mirror is also called converging mirror.

10thMy experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.

10thMy experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
