concave mirror and convex lens can be used to focus light rays.
they are also called converging mirror and lens respectively. They focus the light at a distance of its focal length.

Parallel light rays that pass through a convex lens are?
Converging. Tip: look at the pictures and read : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens_(optics)
Are rays perpendicular to the principal axis of a concave mirror converge at or near the focal point?
It should be parallel. Rays "parallel to the principle axis of a concave mirror converage at or near the focal point.
What does convex lens do to light?
A convex mirror will always create a virtual image. It will also have a negative magnification. The passenger side mirror in every car is slightly convex. [The one with "Objects in Mirror are closer than they appear"] Also, anti-theft mirrors in convenience stores have these properties.
What happens to light that passes through a convex lens?
Light travelling through a concave lens will spread out. In most optical systems that use a concave lens, such as a telescope that needs to magnify the focal plane image, this is a desirable effect.
In convex and concave mirrors which is diverge and which is converg?
A converging mirror is also referred to as a concave mirror. Its reflecting surface curves inwards and usually forms a virtual image. Whereas, a diverging mirror's reflecting surface is curved outwards and can form both real and virtual images.
Do Light Rays converge or diverge?
Light rays converge as well as diverge. it depends upon the type of lens or mirror you pass it through. A concave lens or a convex mirror diverges the light whereas a convex lens or a concave mirror converges the light rays!
What is the principal focus of convex mirror?
It is the point at which all the light rays seem to converge in the case of convex mirror.
Which factor most influence image produce by concave mirror?
A concave mirror cause light rays to converge at the focus
What is a focus of the lens?
The distance at which the light rays bent by the lens (or mirror) converge into a coherent image.
Which light rays striking a concave mirror are reflected so that they pass through they focal point?
Rays which are parallel to the axis of the concave mirror will converge to the focal point.
Will converge light rays to a single focal point on the specimen?
If you want to know what will do this, a lens will, or a curved mirror
What do lenses do to light rays?
They make the light rays converge to a point. Parallel rays converge at the focal point of the lens
Why are plane mirrors and convex mirror unable to form real images?
They cannot make light rays converge.
What do converging lenses do to light rays?
They make the light rays converge to a point. Parallel rays converge at the focal point of the lens
What would happen if concave mirror is missing in projector?
than the rays of the projector will not converge as the concave lens has the characterstic to converge the rays in one place if it converge the rays the image will found on th screen
A convex mirror will make light rays more what?
"A convex mirror is sometimes referred to as a divergingmirror due to the fact that incident light originating from the same point and will reflect off the mirror surface and diverge."So, a convex mirror will reflect and diverge (scatter) the incident light rays (it produces a virtual image), while a convex lens will do the opposite. It will converge light rays passing through it.
The point at which light rays intersect when they are reflected off a concave mirror is called?
If several light rays enter a concave parabolic mirror parallel to each other andto the axis of the mirror, then they'll all converge at the focus of the mirror.If they enter the mirror from a variety of directions, then there's no telling whetherthey might intersect, or where.
