Define the term principal focus for a convex mirror.
(N/A) The principal focus of a convex mirror is a point on its principal axis. When rays of light parallel to the principal axis strike the convex mirror,they diverge after reflection. If these reflected rays are extended backwards,they appear to meet at this specific point on the principal axis. This point is known as the principal focus of the convex mirror.
