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...

What Rays traveling parellel to the principal axis of a concave mirror will reflect out through the mirrors focus?

Any ray that travels parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror will reflect through the mirror's focus after reflection. This is known as the "law of reflection" for concave mirrors.


What happens when a light ray passes through a focal point and then passes through a covex mirror?

When a light ray passes through a focal point of a convex mirror, it will reflect parallel to the principal axis. This is because the reflected ray follows the law of reflection, where the incident angle is equal to the reflection angle.

A ray of light traveling parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror will be reflected out through the mirrors?

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."


What kind of mirror do you have if reflected rays of light pass through the principle focus when light hits a mirror parallel to the principle axis?

The 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.


The blank length of lens is the distance from the center of the lens to its principle focus is what?

The blank you are referring to is the focal length of the lens. It is the distance from the center of the lens to its principal focus, where parallel rays of light converge after passing through the lens.
