In a concave mirror, a light ray passing through the focal point will be reflected
- through the midpoint.
- toward the focal point
- parallel to the axis.
Explanation from PART66Online
Mirror ray rules are reversible: a ray that passes through the focal point of a concave mirror reflects back parallel to the principal axis. This is the exact reverse of a parallel ray, which reflects through the focal point.
