Solution

Concave mirror's focus
Convex mirror's focus
A concave mirror's focus is in front of the mirror. A convex mirror's focus is located behind the mirror.
The light beams converge at the focus after reflection, making it a real focus. Because the light rays diverge from the focus after reflection, it is a virtual focus.
