Applications Of Reflection Of Light
When a light ray (termed as the incident ray) hits a surface and bounces back (forms a reflected ray), the process of reflection of light has taken place.
Sign Convention for Mirrors
A mirror is made of glass that is coated with a metal amalgam on one side due to which the light ray incident on the surface undergoes reflection and not refraction.

Answer to Problem 20R

Focal point.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Those mirrors which are curved inward and polished at one side are known as concave mirrors.

Concave mirror is the converging mirror in which light rays converge by the law of reflection. The rays which are parallel to the optical axis, after reflection passes through the focal point or converge at the focal point.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the answer is focal point.
