Solution

For a convex mirror, parallel rays of light appear to diverge from a point called the principal focus.

Explanation:

For a convex mirror, parallel rays of light appear to diverge from a point called the principal focus (or focal point). When parallel light rays strike the outward-curving surface of a convex mirror, they reflect and spread apart. If you extend these reflected rays backwards behind the mirror, they intersect at this specific point.
