    Why doesn't my convex mirror reflection match the expected focal point?

    Are you just saying the principle is an approximation. I.e. in fact it never passes exactly through F at all (except of course when the incident ray is along the principal axis), but the reflected ray gets very close to F when the incident is close to the principal axis

    Why doesn't my convex mirror reflection match the expected focal point?

    Homework Statement For self study, I've been trying to understand my convex mirror. Some online instruction I've been following states that if an incidence ray (red line in my model, below) parallel to the principal axis (black line) hits a convex mirror (full curvature outlined in black...
