The principle focus of concave mirror is a point on its principle axis to which all the light rays which are parallel and close to the axis, converge after reflection from the mirror.
When light rays parallel to the principal axis coming from infinity fall on the surface of the concave mirror, it converges at a single point on the principal axis. This point is called ‘Principal Focus of concave mirrors. The principal focus is also referred to as simply focus or focal point. The concave mirror focal point lies in front of the mirror.
