On the Cartesian plane the principle axes are the x horizontal axis and the vertical y axis whereas both axes cross each other at the point of origin which is at (0, 0)
----------
In an ellipse the major axis is the line that includes the most distant points on the ellipse; the minor axis includes the closest points. An ellipse is a two-dimensional object which can be generalised to three or more dimensions known as ellipsoids. The line that includes the most distant points on an ellipsoid is called the principle axis of that ellipsoid.

What is the math definition for the word x-axis?
the principal or horizontal axis of a system of coordinates, points along which have a value of zero for all other coordinates.
Why is the ray of light parallel to the principal axis passes through the focus?
Well this only occurs if the lens is parabolic. It is just a fundamental feature of a parabola to reflected an incident ray parallel to the principal axis through the focal point. That is why lenses etc are parabolic. I dont know if this answers your question (it probably doesnt) but oh well...
Where do you look for the scale in the x axis or y axis?
Next to the axis. Next to the axis. Next to the axis. Next to the axis.
Where is y and x axis?
The y- axis in the vertical axis and the x-axis in the horizantal axis
Conjugated principal point?
The conjugated principal point is a term used in optics to refer to the point where the chief ray of a light ray bundle passes through the optical axis after being reflected or refracted by an optical system. It is also known as the focal point or image point. The position of the conjugated principal point depends on the characteristics and parameters of the optical system.
What is principal axis in hyperbola?
The principal axis of a hyperbola is the straight line joining its two foci.
What is principal axis of a mirror?
the imaginary line passing through the the center of curvature and pole is called the principal axis.
Define principal focus and principal aris?
principal focus is the ray which diverge at a point on the other side of the lensPrincipal Axis lens have two centre of culvature,the line passing through them and joining these centres is called principal axis.
If a convex lens of focal length f splits into two equal parts what will be the new focal length?
there can be two ways to cut a convex lens into two equal parts-- one, along the principal axis and another, perpendicular to the principal axis. If the lens is cut along the principal axis, then there will bo NO change in the focal length of the lens. But, if it is cut perpendicular to the principal axis, then the focal length will be twice the original one.
When rays parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror are reflected the pass though?
That passes through the principal focus of the concave mirror
Describe the path of the light ray that hits a mirror after passing through its focus?
It is reflected back parallel to the principal axis. (apex)
A line joining pole and centre of curvature of the mirror is called?
PRINCIPAL AXIS
What are Three principal axis of rotation for the human body?
longitudial transverse and medial
What is the path of the ray that approaches a mirror parallel to the principal axis?
It reflects out through the focus.
What is the math definition for the word x-axis?
the principal or horizontal axis of a system of coordinates, points along which have a value of zero for all other coordinates.
What is the principle focus of a concave mirror?
The refleted ray are meeting/intersecting at a point on the principal axis of the mirror.This point is called the principal focus of the concave mirror
Where will the image form when you place an object on the principal axis of a concave mirror at a point between focus and centre of curvature?
If the object is placed on the principal axis of a concave mirror at a point between the focus and centre of curvature the image will form beyond the centre of curvature
