Make the angle of reflectionCFD equal to the. angle of incidence CFD, and the reflectedray will intersect the secondary axis DB at the point point is the conjugate focus of all rays proceeding fromD. Consequently, an image of the point D is formed at image is called a real image, because rays actually meetat this point. In a similar manner, find the point E, theconjugiate fpeus of the point E. The images of intermediate!? ^ points between D and E lie between the points D and E;and, consequently, the imageof t
